I just sent an e-mail off to the KC Chiefs--others should do the same for their local team

    Some Seahawks and Packers players still took a seat or raised a fist and no one seems to have an issue with that.

    Raiders moving is not the issue, players refusing to stand is.

    There are a *LOT* of us that don't support speech that disrespects those who have died under that flag. Those that want to disrespect those that have died under that flag in order to protect our right to Free Speech should think about what they are doing. There are *other* ways to speak about their views!

    Not watching them for that reason suggests you do care.

    Freedom of speech carries with it the duty to speak respectfully - at least if you want to be heard and understood.

    When your speech is not respectful you only condemn yourself and what you are trying to say.

    I'm sure the millions of drunk NFL fans care more about a handful of players exercising their God given rights than seeing them smash into each other for four hours right after. The league can't nor shouldn't compel them to stand, and if you not attending is the price the league must pay, well I'm sure they can afford to pay it.

    No one is obligated to respect anything, and if you're trying to coerce the league into making them do that then it won't be real respect anyway.

    I think the NFL is starting to feel the effects of their non action against the millionaire anti American idiot players.

    Well, this is your quintessential no-brainer.

    I don't attend NFL games because the product doesn't justify the cost. What the players do or don't do during the national anthem is irrelevant.
