Saint Elistan 106 Posted September 25, 2017 WTF was them staying in locker room during National Anthem. What was the point ? Issue ? Pro Kap ? Anti Trump ? Plenty of threads for this. The Titans and Seahawks stayed in too, ya know. It's to protect the players. They don't have to choose to stand or kneel. It's the "we're not a part of this - either way - we're here to play football" team solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 25, 2017 WTF was them staying in locker room during National Anthem. What was the point ? Issue ? Pro Kap ? Anti Trump ? Obvious attempt at trying to drive one of the larger NFL followings away in disgust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 25, 2017 It's the "we're not a part of this - either way - we're here to play football" team solution. They had one that went out during the Anthem with his hand over his heart. I'm guessing sales of his jersey will go through the roof while others will decline. They're part of it and their fan base just took a big hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, if Im the owner, Id walk in with a stack of game checks and a zippo. Anyone who kneels is suspended and their check gets donated to the wounded warrior project or some such.

He isn't about to disrespect the anthem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can cut the guy, but if hes decent he will be signed elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspend him for conduct detrimental. Then say, be my guest. Hire a lawyer. Maybe youll get your checks years down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I guess the owners could burn the players paychecks. My instincts say the owner is then getting arrested for that move, but billionaires can afford legal defenses and whatnot.

But yeah, the theatrics of burning them probably goes a bit far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
