New NFL Anthem Policy

[linkboy]

Was just announced by the league

 

[Frozenprince]

"Fuck off and be quiet darkies"

 

[excelsiorlef]

Fucking racist horseshit.

Stay pathetic NFL

 

[Slayven]

"Do what you told boy"

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Had to get that picture in

 

[Serene]

"You can protest, just do it in the back where it doesn't disturb the nice customers"

 

[brownmagic]

Backwards league puts out a backwards policy. Why am I not surprised.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Man what the fuck.

 

[kyle mechlachlan]

Fuck off with this shit.

 

[RobotHaus]

I hope someone kneels just to spite this. What a bunch of crap.

 

[mreddie]

At this point, everyone is gonna watch MLS if this bullshit keeps up.

 

[Phire Phox]

At least there isn't a 15 yard penalty for kneeling...

Still a shit policy

Lol

 

[sleepInsom]

Man, fuck the NFL. It's a game not a fucking political rally. Why is respecting the Anthem a necessity?

Everyone knows the most effective protests are the ones nobody else can see.

 

[Serene]

I really don't think this solves anything.

The crowd that was mad about the kneeling is just going to be similarly mad when players choose not to come out for the anthem at all.

They will still spin it as disrespect.

 

[Deleted member 4482]

Maybe the XFL should shift gears and allow kneeling to overtake the NFL

 

[Commanderbuck]

(Slow clap) The NFL continues to miss the point.

 

[Tom Nook]

LOL.

NFL: STAND FOR AMERICA!!!!

 

[sphagnum]

I expect/hope to see some kneeling.

I think you have it wrong. I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said boycott the NFL until it throws out the kneelers.

 

[Einbroch]

As if the NFL wasn't shitty enough.

 

[Slayven]

Too is 2 telling"we should change the rule that would somewhat respect player's wishes" .

I doubt it happens and players will be forced to be out there. And who determines what is respect to the flag and anthem

 

[Deleted member 8741]

People in the stadium should buy out massive sections and refuse to stand.

Lol c'mon now

 

[Frozenprince]

I honestly feel like this is worse than just banning it.

This is a de facto ban but is trying to hide the fact that it is, in fact, a ban on protesting racial inequality in police enforcement. That they're trying to hide this being banned through clever wording makes it all the more despicable.

Meanwhile, in the sunken place from whence we rose, I'm sure they're celebrating getting their "game back".

 

[Tom Nook]

nvm

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

NFLPA doesn't have any say in this? I can't imagine the next bargaining agreement...

 

[Sephzilla]

Wow, way to miss the point, NFL.

Also, doesn't this basically give some more ammunition to Kaepernick's lawsuit against the league?

 

[Casa]

Hopefully loads and loads of players are organizing mass kneel downs as we speak. The NFL can fuck off with this pandering to Trumpers.

 

[Smurf]

fuck the nfl

 

[mreddie]

Lol c'mon now

This is a ban without the ban. To hide the kneelers from the white people.

 

[Coyote Starrk]

Wow. Straight up racism enforced by actual rules and penalties.



There is gonna be players that won't stand for this right? (no pun intended)

 

[Duane]

Fuck off then, NFL. I'm out this winter, I don't care how good the Chiefs are. MLS is my brand of football now. For winter sports, Premiere League and NBA. Or better yet, I'll do something better with my Sundays than watch sports.

Go to hell, Goodell. Don't tell me what patriotism is.

 

[SliceSabre]

"Respect for the flag."

Respect for my ASS. Won't be getting my viewership this year.

 

[xxracerxx]

Oh fuck this.

 

[Enduin]

Glad to see the correct lesson was learned here...

Fall in line or get off the field. Great job. So brave.

 

[TI92]

Well looks like I'm done with the NFL this season

 

[Deleted member 1086]

bullshit

 

[Deception]

Well guess i'm not watching the NFL this year.

 

[Deleted member 8561]

Society would be better served if NFL owners were thrown into an active volcano

 

[Mudcrab]

Lol spineless cowards bowing to Trump

 

[Trickster]

does ERA have an nfl community thread?

 

[Yasuke]

Lmaaaaooooo I'm so done with this league, man

 

[Syder]

Guess I'm finally out on football

was a fun 17 years of following it

 

[Frozenprince]

Wow, way to miss the point, NFL.

Also, doesn't this basically give some more ammunition to Kaepernick's lawsuit against the league?

Story just dropped the other day that his camp found multiple teams viewed him as a starting NFL QB.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

You can walk up to an ongoing school shooting crime scene with a rifle on your back as a form of protest but can't kneel during the anthem to protest police brutality.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

NFL just keeps on digging

 

[H.Cornerstone]

Quite shocked at this reaction seeing how the NBA forces their players to stand during the anthem and no one seems to bat an eye.

 

[Pico]

People who want to express something can do it while standing too, NFL. Is raising your fist during the anthem already banned?
