Today is the last day to cancel DirecTV NFL TICKET

"Not knocking you but I see that as a defeatest, retreating attitude."

Let's see if I have this correct...So, you're not knocking him...but you say he has a defeatest, retreating attitude. Nope, you're knocking him. You know, for having a defeatest, (BTW, it's "defeatist", with an "i") attitude. I'm not the grammar police, but then, I'm not the one splitting hairs, here.
Frankly, I agree with him. I have opinions I can't share with my employer's clients. I'm on their time, wearing their uniform, such as it is, and their reaction to my opinion may, probably would, affect their standing with said clients. Not the proper venue. On my time, sure, no problem, their time, at their venue, an opinion that likely will negatively affect their bottom line, it's not a "free speech" issue.

He was threatened because (as I posted above) coach said no one was going to participate.

I agree, I call bullshit on him "throwing his team under the bus".

Meanwhile NASCAR owners said stand or be fired!

I'll be watching racing and hockey. Fuck these pussified little bitches. Be an American and stand for the anthem. If not get the fuck out as you are disrespecting the country that has given you the opportunity to get where you are at.

So,... whats everyones thoughts about the way they handled the National Anthem tonight ? A 'both teams group kumbaya kneel' before the ceremony, lots of audience disapproval.

I guess it was better than I thought would happen but still pissed-off at the players/owners/NFL for ever letting it get this far. Clueless lemmings.

Part of the reason Villanueva pushed for change: he’d received texts from wounded veterans asking him to stand for the anthem.

He picked the right team on Sunday.

Then he's still not the hero everyone's making him out to be (in reference to the game only). As a matter of fact, if he just won't own doing what he did, and has to make some bullshit excuse for it, that's even worse than not coming out at all.

It is.

My guess is some heavy threats were made.

I didn't watch it, I thought the Cowboys owner said his team wouldn't be kneeling? So much for that I guess, eff'em all.

You had me at
