How Much Longer until the NFL no longer does the national anthem?

Do what you want, it's a free country. Just like I'm also free to choose not to give a shit. I just came to watch football and drink beer.

Amen to that. I wish people cared as much about our congressmen standing for the anthem as they do about NFL players.

Nobody volunteers for the North Korean armed forces, they are forced. North Korea has a population of approximately 24 million. 5.9 million currently serve as active duty military, that's about 25% of the population.

If 5 million suddenly signed up they'd basically double the size of their force, and have every able bodied man and woman aged 18 - 55 serving in the force.

Snake I've said it before, but you don't think very well.

You realize even if all 16 stadiums are filled with people linking arms that tops out at 1.6 million in a population of 360 million. Your pictures dont disprove anything. Most Americans are sitting in their comfortable seats or at a bar somewhere and aren't standing at attention for the anthem.

Many(not all) stop what they are doing if they realize it's on.To say 99.99999% are that way is ridiculous,very few Americans sit at or go to a bar when a game is on. I will admit that it is a generation thing ,yes,younger generation shows less respect to alot of things just not the National Anthem".It's their view of the World and that is fine but 99.9999%,..............no.




I will stand by what I said before ,this was never about the Anthem or the Military or the Flag .It was one man's way of peacefully protesting something he believed was wrong and wanted to bring attention to it,so he says.

I'm all for the kneeling. Thinking they are protesting the national anthem is like thinking Rosa Parks was protesting the bus/public transportation!
