What's worse? The president telling everyone to stand during the anthem or the team telling everyone to kneel during the anthem?
Steelers for one. 49ers for another. I'm not watching Sunday night but I'm sure Seattle is another.Who is telling players that they have to kneel?

I saw a picture of San Francisco kneeling in today's game and I assume in the Seattle game and the former green beret OLineman for the Steelers was the only Steeler player outside the locker room during the national anthem last Sunday.Do you have a link for this?
If you're saying the individual pro football player has no choice whether they stand or kneel, then I would agree.Why is that different than an employee having to show up on time?

I provided you with simple examples of kneeling (or standing) from this week and last. If you don't want to do the work of verifying this info, yourself, I don't know what to tell you.That's not what I asked you. I asked you if you have a link to prove that teams are being asked to kneel.

Here’s what I found about today...
The team prayed “that we as a nation embrace kindness, unity, equality and justice for all Americans,” according to The Associated Press.
Last weekend, several Ravens players took a knee during the anthem, joining at least a dozen Jacksonville Jaguars players.
The Pittsburgh Steelers also chose to stand for the anthem on Sunday, in contrast to last week’s game when all but one of the players decided to stay in their locker room during the anthem. The lone player who ventured out onto the field, Alejandro Villanueva, later said he did so by mistake.
BENGALS vs. BROWNS
At least nine Cleveland Browns players raised their right fists during the anthem before facing off against the Cincinnati Bengals, but both teams remained standing. Last week, 22 Browns players knelt before their game against the Indianapolis Colts, and a majority of the Bengals players stood with linked arms before their game against the Green Bay Packers.
LIONS vs. VIKINGS
Two Detroit Lions linebackers, Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Steve Longa, took a knee on Sunday for the second week in a row while their teammates stood with locked arms. Last week, six additional Lions players knelt during the anthem.
Many Minnesota Vikings linked arms during the anthem before playing against the Lions, but several players did not participate. The team held a similar demonstration last week.
RAMS vs. COWBOYS
All Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys players stood during the anthem before their game Sunday. Rams outside linebacker Robert Quinn raised his fist for a second week in a row, and Cowboys defensive end Damontre Moore also did so as the song ended. Last week, the Cowboys briefly took a knee before the anthem began.
BILLS vs. FALCONS
Six Buffalo Bills players took a knee during the anthem on Sunday, while their teammates and the majority of their opponents, Atlanta Falcons players, stood with their arms locked. Several Bills knelt last week, as did two Falcons.
EAGLES vs. CHARGERS:
Both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Chargers stood during the anthem on Sunday.
The Eagles stood with locked arms during last weekend’s game against the New York Giants. The Chargers for the majority also stood with locked arms last weekend, with the exception of one player who took a knee and five others who remained seated.
THE 49ERS vs. CARDINALS
More than a dozen San Francisco 49ers took a knee during the national anthem.
The team later tweeted out a video of the players standing and kneeling, all with their hands over their hearts. The caption read: “Together.”
The Arizona Cardinals, similar to last weekend’s game, stood during the national anthem.
GIANTS vs. BUCCANEERS
For the second-straight Sunday, only one New York Giants player, Oliver Vernon, knelt during the national anthem, the New York Daily News reported. The rest of the team stood, two of them with their fists in the air. Last week, the entire Giants team, aside from Vernon, stood with linked arms.
The game’s anthem was not televised, with broadcaster Fox Sports earlier announcing that they would only air the anthem ahead of the day’s first Dolphins vs. Saints match in London.
The Giants’ opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, stood normally during the anthem on Sunday. Last weekend, two of the team’s players knelt during the anthem as other teammates stood with linked arms.
RAIDERS vs. BRONCOS
The entire Oakland Raiders team, minus one player, stood during the national anthem on Sunday.
The missing player, running back Marshawn Lynch, chose to sit during the anthem. He made an earlier statement before the game by wearing an “everybody vs. Trump” T-shirt.
The majority of the Raiders either remained seated or took a knee during last weekend’s game. The Denver Broncos’ entire team stood for the national anthem. More than half of the team knelt last week.
COLTS vs. SEAHAWKS
While the majority of the Seattle Seahawks players stood for the anthem, a handful of players, including defensive ends Michael Bennett and Frank Clark, sat down.
I saw a picture of San Francisco kneeling in today's game and I assume in the Seattle game and the former green beret OLineman for the Steelers was the only Steeler player on the field during the national anthem last Sunday.
And the 49ers lost. Again. Karma. Crapernicks home team where he suddenly discovered his blackness and **** on the NFL because he was too stupid to have an exit strategy for kneeling “X” number of games, so the dumb **** committed himself for all season.
What a moron. And it’s contageous.

You never saw the OLineman for Pittsburgh standing by himself outside the locker room last week? That's hard to believe.
When you come in claiming that players are forced to kneel, you are responsible for supplying verification to back up your specious claim.
I never said I didn't see the lineman standing outside the locker room by himself.
I simply asked you to prove where you stated in your poll that players were being asked to kneel. I have not seen any teams asking their players to kneel. You claim it is happening, so I would like to see which teams this is happening with.
Your poll is clearly faulty and needs to be reworded for accuracy.
What's worse? The president telling everyone to stand during the anthem or the team telling everyone to kneel during the anthem?
What team is telling their players to kneel?
Which president is telling NFL players to stand? The question is rhetorical and the factual nature of the question isn't as important as fleshing out people's ideologies, IMO.
