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.
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
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
Nothing in there says they MUST stand. Lern werds (sic)
They are encouraged. Not required.
Same to you: #2402
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.
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.
I think I'll go with the NFL itself that says there is no requirement to stand.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
Stupid opinion of a "blonde bimbo" is typical leftwing hate speech.
More irony.how about responding to the issues raised ...
Should =/= required or must.

Should =/= required or must.
Pretty damn basic.
I don't know how many times the definition has to be presented to you.
RULE
a. An authoritative, prescribed direction for conduct, especially one of the regulations governing procedure in a legislative body or a regulation observed by the players in a game, sport, or contest.
SHOULD

Stingy keeps quoting Shakespeare (lol) ! to somehow turn the word "should" into must.
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.Here is exactly what you choose to ignore, this isn't about protesting President Trump, this is about disrespecting our country.

My issue with Obama was always his policies and it was never personal. Yours is purely personal as you don't like what Trump has said and ignore what he has done. I guess with people like you it is your choice on what is right is all that matters and logic and common sense as well as tradition doesn't matter.
you see Trump as an awful President because you don't understand leadership at all. You focus on Trump ignoring what the Trump team is doing. Protesting words is something you support while actions are ignored. Comment on the video I am posting on this post?
I respect where your coming from. Do you have any issue with their customers dropping them for their own reasons?Yes, there is truth that the person typing listed a lot stereotypes of black athletes. So who cares that person no longer wants to watch football. Farewell. Try typing up a less stereotypical letter and you can help me sympathize. Not sure what left you speak of. I'm not justifying anything. I simply listened to the players and the reason they explain for protesting and I totally sympathize with them. If their employer (the NFL) wants to waive a rule book to allow their players to protest why should I begrudge that employer. Free country right? Bc I'm sure many conservatives as urself have ragged on Obama about ur perceived infringement on UR free country many times. Now that an employer allows its employees to conduct themselves in a manner that YOU don't like, oh now let's throw that 1st amendment out of the window. So continue to be upset about it, it only shows the hypocrisy.
There are just as many veterans who don't have a problem with what they are doing and even taking a knee with them in solidarity.
No need to fine THEM, the fans will fine the LEAGUE.The context is that this week they instead of taking a knee they pull out little American Flags and burn them in protest, you OK with that?
How about they all hold up little baby dolls to protest abortion, you'd be OK it they did that too?
The context is this weeks football games, I know you are desperate to avoid an answer but the "context" thing is quite lame you know exactly what is the context.
It has everything to do with public relations and nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. The fans are revolting and today a sponsor just pulled his ad and perhaps you didn't hear about the big pow-wow the NFL held today behind closed doors to figure out how they are going to get themselves out of this public relations mess they have created.
And the law says they can be fired so what?
I know exactly what patriotic means obviously you do not.
the rule is quite clear they must stand, they must hold their helmets in the left hand and they are not to speak to anyone during the anthem and presentation of the flag.
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?
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
