Libtards are so retarded. This is not about legal rights. It's about the failure of the NFL to keep libtard brats in line.

keep them in line from what, obeying the law ?

F'n idget.

Considering that the NFL didn't put players out on the field to stand for the national anthem until 2009, and it was done as a marketing ploy to make the NFL appear more "patriotic", I personally don't see what all the fuss is about.

It was a snow job back then, and all this outrage is another snow job in the other direction.

Can you actually read? It does not say that at all. Let me ask you, could the owners demand they not protest then fire them if they did?

More directly, would the libtard support the right of white supremacist players assemble on the NFL fields' sidelines before games.

Ah no they were not! NFL rules state players should be on the sidelines standing and holding their helmets with their left hand and their right over their heart. Those ARE the NFL rules. Look them up idiot.

It's too bad the Regressives can't be so protective of freedom of expression on our college campuses.

People should be able to speak without threats, intimidation, violence, interference or fear of being shut down, whether we agree with them or not.

They are in their legal rights, so long as the owner doesn't tell them to knock it off, and it will cost the owners billions if they don't. The fans are sick of the left thrusting politics into every sphere of society.

Got a link for that claim? Because the NFL didn't start having the players out on the field for the anthem until 2009, and it was done as a marketing ploy to make the NFL more "patriotic".

You know, I took your suggestion and looked this one up. There is a news station that looked into this story, and there are no such requirements in the NFL rule book. Matter of fact, this link to the news story also has a direct link to the NFL rulebook in the story they posted.

You're full of crap Dark Fury.

Really? Here's a link to help you out with that...................and in the article posted, it's got a link to the NFL rule book for 2017.

Are NFL Players Required to Stand During the National Anthem? What the League’s Rulebook Says

The excerpt being shared on social media, however, is not in the NFL’s 2017 Official Playing Rules. Instead, pages 62 and 63 contain information about the enforcement of fouls.


In fact, the rulebook doesn’t mention the national anthem at all. The only section possibly relating to this situation is in regards to “Personal Messages” found on page 23, article 8.


The rule about personal messages states:


“Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office. Items to celebrate anniversaries or memorable events, or to honor or commemorate individuals, such as helmet decals, and arm bands and jersey patches on players’ uniforms, are prohibited unless approved in advance by the League office. All such items approved by the League office, if any, must relate to team or League events or personages. The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns. Further, any such approved items must be modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial, and noncontroversial; must not be worn for more than one football season; and if approved for use by a specific team, must not be worn by players on other teams in the League.”
