Force?
No, it's "stand up, respect America and the flag for which it stands, or we'll fire your ass".

Lots of Military people and Trump supporting Cubans in Miami, me thinks the Dolphins owner saw not only attendance drop, but purchase of merchandise too.
That is where they make a lot of money.

Most people have enough sense not to tick off the people who pay their salaries. In this case were talking about the public paying big money to go to games & people watching on tv. So much stupidity is involved here. Unexplainable...

The three that refused should be picking up their final paychecks NLT Friday the 13th.

Not really. It was always about patriotism, no matter what the millionaire cry-bullies said.

Exactly.
When you are paid, and wear a uniform, you are on someones time. You can protest on YOUR time, and YOUR dime.

They were not forced. They are free to quit their jobs anytime.
The three who stayed in the tunnel weren’t even fired.

So we ask ourselves, "Do we really want to support an organization that has to
force people to do something as simple as showing respect for the American flag and anthem?"
The answer is a resounding No. This is why, even if tomorrow every single NFL player were to stand, it wouldn't make us watch again. Because now it isn't so much the physical act of standing, it's the "knowing what you know" about their attitude and beliefs that has changed everything.

Ross said: 'Trump has made [standing for anthem] about patriotism.'If he's learning he's not learning much. I can't recall a time in my 62 years when standing for the anthem was not about patriotism.

It is a simple policy to implement. If you kneel or sit or otherwise disrespect the flag or national anthem. You sit that game and the next..... and get paid accordingly.

One could stop by Home Depot, hire three guys to stand on the sideline and most would not know the difference.
