Miami Dolphins owner FORCES players to stand on the field during national anthem - as three ...

The headline is Fake News. The word in scream caps is Fake News.

The players weren't "forced" to stand. The players were told that they weren't allowed on the field if they didn't stand.

Angry Dolphins fans may have been able to forgive and comeback if the three in the tunnel had been on the field, standing or out of a job but...alas and again...Ah well...

What would be nice is if they took any decrease from ticket sales, advertising, and concessions, and deducted the same percentage from the kneelers paychecks.

It should fairly easy to give the players a choice:

<>Door #1 enter the playing field
<>Door #2 exit to the parking lot

I don’t want anyone to be forced to stand. I want to know their racist and anti-American views so that I don’t patronize their franchises and make them any money.

He signs the pay checks

If the players don’t like it then quit and go do something else

Given it’s own problems, the NFL should start running domestic violence public service announcements right before kick off. Let the women beating players “take a knee” during them.

The owner will discover it is TOO little TOO late.

You have a multi-million dollar enticement to follow the team’s rules. They don’t want to follow them, you can either fine them or fire them...

Since monetary slaps on the hand will mean nothing, just fire three. Give them five minutes to get their items off of the property and an officer to file a trespass warning.

Too late. Not going to exchange any of my green backs for anything to do with the sport, which includes not wasting my precious time watching your players slap lady liberty in the face.

F... ALL of you NFL. Kiss my furry arse!

You don't want to stand for the anthem? Fine, don't stand for the anthem. I don't want to pay you next week. Guess what happens next?

Forcing players to stand is fascism. I'm not in favor of that, but there is absolutely nothing that says I have to have them on my team.

Really? I didn't read where he fired them (10,31,89). Maybe I just missed it.

Still a little learning to go - players that won't stand on the field shouldn't be allowed on the field....
