After an NFL season of flag-dissing protests and kneeling during the national anthem that left fans furious, and slammed TV ratings, one League team announced a tough new policy to shut it down.

And some players are angry, claiming the announcement "blind-sided" them.

Cut em. They aint worth it. There are a ton of players who would love to play the game and most of them will actually have their hearts into it.

“And some players are angry, claiming the announcement “blind-sided” them.”

Go start your own team if you assclowns don’t like it.

They are totally cowed by the racial aspect of it. If it were not for that, they could have nipped it in the bud.

Hehe - you KNOW the league, despite Goddell’s LIES to the contrary . . They took a decent size loss last year in fans and money. Turns out, there’s not enough SJW pussy hat waving fans to make up for white American working men refusing to sit for it

It’s pretty much too late to change anything.

Go look for empty seats in the first couple of games for this season. TV cameras will try to avoid it, but it’s going to be a bigger problem.

TV contracts coming up will be for lesser dollars, and it’ll influence future union negotiations.

Easy FIX the NFL should've done in the beginning!

1st strike = 8 game suspension + no pay

2nd strike = 1 year suspension + no pay

3rd strike = NFL ban for life

First they need “sensitivity” training to make them understand the pain and suffering they are causing others....

...not to mention how stupid they look.

Good for the Dolphins management. It’s a simple workplace rule. If the players dont want to abide by it, they are welcome to work elsewhere.
