Now I don’t feel so bad that the Giants won.
And I was happy for Victor Cruz. 700 days since he last played.
The NFL permits players to disgrace the Flag, but threatens players for honoring 9-11 victims...
I wouldn’t and won’t patronize that.
We need to be bigger than the NFL. We need to set an example of what’s acceptable. We MUST draw the line!
One week. Shut it down. One Week Matters!
Glad to be a Giant fan!
Good for them! This was a sad day. I am glad they decided to commemorate the loss of so many, of a deep wound for America.
These players not honoring the US flag and their enablers who defend them are useful idiots for an overall agenda. As with what happened when the Confederate flag and other historical references to the Civil War were removed last year, it's all about that invisible hand that strives to diminish patriotism......and nationalism.
I kind of find it refreshing when after disrespecting the thousands of American heroes by using the national anthem as a tool to argue racial problems, that they disrespect their own league. By taking a tally, they’ve dissed their bosses, the people that pay the bills for them, the fans, and a number of them, have lost sponsors. What’s next, themselves or God. Bout all they have left.

So, the NFL fines for 9/11 tributes, but is A-Okay with the kneeling during the National Anthem. Wonderful organization. I’m glad I don’t watch professional sports.
I’ve been done with the NFL for years, but the recent episodes of no 9-11 cleats but OK to sit-out the national anthem reinforce that decision.
Several Giants players, and I think that Beckham was one of them, seemed very much moved at the playing of the national anthem. The country needs more like Beckham, Cruz, and the guy in Tennessee who also honored 9-11.
The Cowboys should have done as those Giants players did: ignore Goodell and defy him to punish them.
How can they fine for this and later promote the “pink” shoes for Breast Cancer?
OK, rules are rules. The guys stood up for freedom and the NFL has to fine them or lose credibility. A dollar would be appropriate. Win-win.
They did —over $6000 each.
