Big Picture ..

-The National Anthem is not a REQUIRED ingredient for a sports event.

-Players, coaches, owners, staff, fans, media are all requirements for success.

-there have been cases in the past where political statements have been made a at the Olympics and other sporting events, and we have always had Presidents smart enough to handle it.

-After Trump said "fire that son of a bitch" I think if would have been appropriate for the NFL to break all ties with government.

A separation of sports and state.

Frankly, whatever the country, I can't understand why sporting events still begin with national anthems.

They quit that at live performances and in movies theatres many years ago.

Dan, I am totally in agreement with you. We still have some 3rd world refugees here who do not plan to swear allegiance to our flag, yet they certainly don't refuse any help we are giving them!!!!!!

Sure, the NFL stops being a recruiting tool for the Military. Looks to me like the gov. gets a big bang for the buck. The taxpayer buck .. your buck.

I don't recall Obama ever saying that this kneeling crap was a wonderful idea. What's your source? I'd like to see the video.
