[Morgana]

The owner is learning quickly

[dfwgator]

Don’t care.

[Jim W N]

Force?

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

[Chode]

he forced them to stand, except for those he din't

[KC_Lion]

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.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

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

[MortMan]

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

[Hodar]

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

[TigersEye]

They were not forced. They are free to quit their jobs anytime.

The three who stayed in the tunnel weren’t even fired.

[dragnet2]

Eff the NFL.

[workerbee]

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.

[TigersEye]

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.

[taxcontrol]

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.

[hadaclueonce]

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

[ctdonath2]

It’s in the contract.

[faithhopecharity]

at least this one owner wants to stay in business

(good for him)

if the damned players won’t even show the minimal respect for us to stay vertical for our flag or national anthem,
they can go straight to Hell as far as I am concerned

[Eddie01]

I like equality and support the effort to achieve it.

I would like for black crime statistics per capita to be equal with whites for starters.

FULL TITLE: Miami Dolphins owner FORCES players to stand on the field during national anthem - as three refuse and remain in the tunnel

These three should immediately be released...otherwise the owner is going to look like a complete PANSEY.

[Exit148]

Standing is one thing. Standing with hand over heart is another.

But being forced to do either— shows me the player and where his allegiance is.

[Don Corleone]

MAGA!

[Semper911]

My employer forces me to do things too. And then he pays me very well for it. Bastard.

There is no free speech at work. Well, there is, but if your employer doesn’t like it, you get fired.

Not sure why this has been such a difficult concept for the left. It isn’t anything new.
