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.

On Thursday afternoon, it was reported that the NFL’s Miami Dolphins will suspend and/or fine players who protest during the national anthem.

“And some players are angry, claiming the announcement “blind-sided” them.” Go start your own team if you assclowns don’t like it.

Indeed!

I recall on the wrestling show, the audience chanted a-hole, a-hole, a-hole at Vince McMahon. That needs to be repeated loudly to these useless kneelers, until they are shamed off the playing field!

No. First offense - termination of contract for bringing the reputation of the team into disrepute.

It’s pretty much too late to change anything.

Eventually, maybe. But I agree with you. Many people, myself included, turned off and found other stuff to do on a Sunday.

I found some of that other activity more fun. Our family is far away from a TV on Sundays now. I don't think I will ever be glued to the games as I once was.

But for the record....I'm still not watching. Last year was the first time in decades I did not watch the Super Bowl.

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

I would not mess around with all that.

1st announcement: If you kneel or show any disrespect during the national anthem, you won't play.

2nd Announcement: You did it. We warned you. No more field time for you this season. Suit up and enjoy the bench.

The camera crews and mixer crews in the truck already have several years of experience with hiding the missing fans thanks to NUTSCAR screwing the Pooch. Between cardboard cutout fans and CGI they fix it.

Hell at this years Daytona 500 when Dale Jr gave to command to start engines NUTSCAR made Him lie on live TV that the race was “sold out” and that was a blatant lie.

I’m not excusing them but it seems like nowadays EVERYONE feels compelled to break the old rule of not discussing religion or politics at work. I doubt many on FR go in to work and have spirited debates about abortion, gun control, or the Franco-Prussian Alliance of 1821. Yet we have maniacs in the US accosting co-workers and customers over MAGA hats, the border, etc. What ever happened to shutting up and singing?

Too little too late. I'm sick of animals starring in professional sports, and I'm sick of teams that employ these drug addicted, spousal abusing, criminals who get paid millions for doing nothing other than running the 100 yard dash at cheetah speeds.

I wish all professional sports would simply die; fade into obscurity.

If performing an action (Standing for the Flag) is a condition of employment, and I violate that condition, then the penalty(s) for violating that condition are to be expected. This can include fines, lost of pay, or termination of employment.

Being a sports figure is just another job. If you don't conform to the conditions of employment, go elsewhere...

Oh, and if all you know to do is play football, I hope you stuffed your mattress with the $$$ you've been paid to date. Otherwise be ready for a move to a more realistic payscale...

Our entire family used to be die-hard national felon league fans until they tore off their mask, revealed and demonstrated for all the world to see that they LITERALLY HATE AMERICA, HATE WHITE PEOPLE, HATE LAW ENFORCEMENT, HATE THE U.S. MILITARY, AND H A T E THEIR OWN, ONCE LOYAL FAN BASE!

We refuse to watch, or financially support the nfl EVER AGAIN because THEY H A T E US!

The nfl, "National Felon League" can ROT. They can fire the whole team for all we care because no matter what they do we are NEVER COMING BACK.
