Few if any signing such a petition are really NFL fans anyway.
Weigh that against the millions of patriots who WILL boycott if Kaeperdick plays.
The league and owners should have taken a strong stand right from the first week of this b.s. last year. They have every right to require that players in uniform stand and respect the flag and anthem. They should have said immediately, “it is not a question of your private personal views, when you are paid and in uniform you will follow your employer’s standards.” There is no “right” to use your employer’s uniform, resources, facilities, tv contract, etc. to stage your own protest.
AGREED!!!

NFL should have adopted NBA rule.
