Goodell stated that the league believes that "everyone should stand for the national anthem"

He still didn't get the message.

No. He’s right. Americans should stand. This is America and no one makes me stand or kneel. But I also understand consequences. Those players have the right to not stand. Fans have the right to stay home. Team owners have the right to change rosters. That’s how freedom works and another man’s freedom means he doesn’t have to do what you want.

I agree - still using should and I must have missed the part about hands over hearts, as well as no kneeling, locking arms or fists in the air. They blew it. IMO, because we now know they don’t give a damn. Never again NFL.

I figure the player will get pissed at Goodell, and there will be a lot more protesters this week. Good. Loss of revenue, advertisement, and fans needs to continue at a solid pace.
