Not a good solution at all. Really the simplest thing is to leave the players in the locker room until after the anthem. Or do away with the anthem.

yup, agreed

Just end it all by making it a $100,000 fine per offense for conduct detrimental to the league. For 1.6 mil per season, knock yourselves out.

Too simple I guess.

Employers in the private sector have every right to limit free speech of it's employees while the employee is representing the employer, especially if that speech is of a controversial nature that can result in bad publicity. While wearing the uniform, an NFL player represents their team and the NFL, so these employers have every right to ban this kind of action.

Forbid disrespecting the flag while in uniform; fine $100,000.00 per violation, fines to go to law enforcement agencies, or suspend them without pay each game they choose to kneel. three times and you are fired, get a job at Walmart.

Naa to the above even if I approve of said actions. Need to keep politics and such out of the picture. Really has no place in a game for entertainment purposes and will just keep the spot light off of the game .

How long has the NFL sang the National Anthem?

While I ... don't agree with your views, the NFL has always branded itself as American Pie, Patriotism, etc for at the very least the SB era. That has evolved some, but the core of that has never quite changed.

How long has the NFL sang the National Anthem?

The history of singing the national anthem before NFL games

• 1941-42: Playing the national anthem before the start of regular season baseball games became the standard. And with the U.S. in World War II now, the National Football League also included the playing of the anthem before games.

But the players weren't always on the field for the anthem.

They brought the players on the field in 2009.

I think I should kneel for the anthem this year if I go to a game
