'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:1065]

Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10

Not

True.

The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

Nothing in there says they MUST stand. Lern werds (sic)

They are encouraged. Not required.
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10

We've looked at it, and doesn't mean much. There is no rule they are required to stand.

LOL, what part of this don't you understand?? Apparently in your world rules are made to be broken and there is certainly a double standards

During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking.

I guess you can justify any action that supports your point of view and the liberal ideology allows people to do whatever makes them feel good ignoring tradition and respect for the country

No it says players should stand, hold their helmets in the left hand and stay silent

should
used in auxiliary function to express obligation, propriety, or expediency

It's a RULE.

Right, should means you don't have to which is what you are contending, totally classless which is what this is all about. This isn't protesting Trump, this is total disrespect for the country, the flag, and our veterans. The double standards are here.

it is one thing to protest actions and another to protest words. You cannot seem to differentiate the two.

Should =/= required or must.

Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10


Who the hell are you to tell people how they must peacefully protest?

Some of the most unAmerican crap I'm hearing these days from TrumpCons.



& That stupid opinion video from the blond bimbo on that All Conservative All The Time network is a pile of crap.

The NFL Operations Manual is quite clear but as usual the radical left has other ideas. You simply have no standing on this issue and cannot respond to the double standards displayed or the reality that actions always speak louder than words but in this case words matter more than actions. this is why liberalism is a disease and isn't winning over the hearts and minds of individual voters and why Democrats aren't winning local and state elections. You are definitely part of the problem facing this country today

Stupid opinion of a "blonde bimbo" is typical leftwing hate speech. how about responding to the issues raised instead of the person making the comments?
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10

I think I'll go with the NFL itself that says there is no requirement to stand.

Old men yelling at clouds rates far, far, far lower on the cred/rule totem pole.


this is why liberalism is a disease

Stupid opinion of a "blonde bimbo" is typical leftwing hate speech.

Enough irony to make the eyes bleed.

how about responding to the issues raised ...
More irony.

Words have meanings. Should and must are two different things. The use of words in Shakespeare's time is different than it is now.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Look, I don't know how many times this has to be expained to you, but it surely isn't soaking in.

Should =/= required or must.

Pretty damn basic.

I don't know how many times the definition has to be presented to you.

SHOULD

Stingy keeps quoting Shakespeare (lol) ! to somehow turn the word "should" into must.

It is ever so rich a pie,
In which I shall creamcake in 'tis eye.


How about that one?

Or how about this one: "Players are encouraged but not required to stand during the playing of the national anthem." -NFL

- The N eF freakin L itself.

Colin Kaepernick explains why he sat during national anthem - NFL.com

Ya think they might know a thing or two more than you...Bard bart ? lol

Enjoy licking the cream off your face, Sting man.

Quoting the Dictionary and one of the masters of the English language

WEll DUH of course they backed themselves into a corner by not enforcing the rule from the get go with CK and are now trying to get out of this PR mess they have made, that doesn't change the fact of what the employment rules clearly state.

Unbelievable.
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10

The left sadly has reduced itself to a one trick pony. The only card they play is if you don't agree with us your a bad person.

I respect where your coming from. Do you have any issue with their customers dropping them for their own reasons?

No need to fine THEM, the fans will fine the LEAGUE.

The irony of this is it comes on the heels of the left telling us that civil war monuments must come down because of what they symbolize but we should ignore the nfl players kneeling because symbolism is not important.

Apparently it's only suppose to be important when they tell you it is

Was it last month or the one before when fringe and alt righties were crying that calling for a boycott was an infringement on free speech?
 
Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10


That’s because many idiotic conservatives don’t understand that the protest isn’t against the flag. But hey no one said conservatives are smart.

Re: 'Get that son of a b***h off the field!':Trump calls for BOYCOTTS NFL teams [W:10

We all know how much you hate Donald Trump but the issue is the national anthem and if you don't like this country work to change it through the Congress
