Screw the NFL.

Walk away if you have any self respect.

Disrespecting our flag and anthem is corrosive to our nation.
For the football league that purports to be for OUR nation, that’s unacceptable.
The league should have nipped this in the bud last year.
They have not and it is spreading.
President Trump was right to call them out.
So is this sheriff.
Every self respecting American should.

I agree. The disrespect and dishonor these over-paid celebrity sport jocks showed to the country, should be enough to make every American recoil in utter disgust.

All police departments should do this. They are putting their lives at risk only to be disrespected by the teams and the owners who condone this behavior. No more police at nfl games.

I’m looking forward to the day the owners have to renegotiate the contracts due to loss of revenue.

"All police departments should do this."

I'm sure there are clauses in the policies and procedures of most law enforcement agencies, that mandate officers must request permission to take a second job, or perform duties outside of work. I know there was when I worked in uniform. These people are basically on call 24 hours a day, and need to be reachable and ready for duty in case of an emergency. The employer has a right to deny any employee's request for a second job if they feel it will inhibit the officer from performing his official assigned duties.

He bought and paid for the season tickets but won’t use them?

I imagine all off duty police will stop working at any game with anti-American behavior; also all military will stop having displays. No more flyovers.

It's also possible that many patriotic band members will refuse to play.

Some cheerleaders will quit to be quickly replaced by left wing cheerleaders. They will also kneel triumphantly to half empty stadiums and low ratings.

I was expecting this move. Was just wondering where it was going to happen first. Think about it NFL owners: have it your way - with no law enforcement presence.

Let’s see how that event fairs - especially since there are just enough hoodlums who would love to start something at a game.

The New Black Panthers would be fine. That will draw a lot of attendance.(/S)
