President Donald Trump has ratcheted up the national controversy over black National Football League players who refuse to stand while the U.S. National Anthem is played before games.During a Friday night political rally in Alabama, Trump called on fans to boycott teams that allow players to engage in that particular form of protest.
The league's TV ratings have slid since quarterback Colin Kaepernick, then the leader of the San Francisco 49ers, began the trend in September 2016.
'Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, "Get that son of a b***h off the field right now! He is fired. He's fired!"' Trump boomed.

Or take the position this coach took...

Team USA hockey coach John Tortorella made headlines this week when he told ESPN’s Linda Cohn, “If any of my players sit on the bench for the national anthem, they will sit there the rest of the game.” In the wake of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protest, Tortorella now has a zero tolerance policy for players who refuse to participate in the national anthem during the World Cup of hockey tournament.

Tortorella’s son is an Army Ranger who is currently deployed, making this matter even more personal for team USA’s stern coach. He is particularly critical of his players’ conduct particularly during the World Cup where they will represent not just a single team or league, but the entire country as a whole. If his players choose to exercise their constitutional rights by sitting for the anthem, he has no problem exercising his right as a coach to bench them throughout the game.

The World Cup of Hockey is scheduled to begin on September 17, 2016 and will last through October 1, 2016 in Toronto, Canada. The tournament will feature competitors from countries throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. This is only the third World Cup of Hockey, the United States won the inaugural tournament in 1996 and Canada won the previous event in 2004.

Why is kneeling during a game worse than white supremacists marching? If conservatives want to pretend to be the ultimate guards of free speech maybe they should accept all types.

Maybe it's just me, but I really don't care if a NFL player decides to sit during the National Anthem.

Trump is certainly making Americans puff out their chests a little more!

White Supremacists: "Very fine people."
Erdogan: "A friend of mine."
Duterte: "Doing an unbelievable job on the drug problem."
Kim Jong-Un: "A pretty smart cookie."
Athlete not standing for National Anthem: "Get that son of a bitch off the field!"

How is it a strawman? We've had numerous threads with people saying "I don't like them, but they should be allowed to speak", but then Kaepernick kneels and conservatives freak out.

That's fine, you are free to feel that way. More NFL Fans disagree. It's not that they are protesting, hell I gave 10 years of my life for their right to do so. It's the venue they are choosing to protest.

As a person who does not salute the flag or say the pledge, for faith reasons...it is simply a matter of showing respect for the country you live in and respect for the laws you live under...people seem to have lost sight of that...

You misunderstand, intentionally. We don't LIKE what those idiots in the WS groups stand for, say or do. However if they choose to go to a protest that's their right.

It's the VENUE that these folks are protesting at, that we have an issue with.

I don't care if pre-game on the field nonsense is simply eliminated from being broadcast - let the talking heads and ads have that airtime.

Oh look, silly nonsense from the master purveyor of pointless posts.

Odd that largely people who voted for a guy who promised to make "America great again" implying it wasn't great in the first place, have a problem with people protesting Americas not so great attitude to race relations and justice.

You have a problem because it is a football game?

I understand that. My problem is the double standard. If you believe that not standing for the anthem is un-American and wrong then waving the Nazi flag should also be un-American and wrong.

To me, it wouldn't matter if it was at a football game, or a baseball game, or whatever. I think people make way too big of a deal out of this issue.

The president called an American a "son of a bitch" for a quiet act of political dissent.

And brought him up at a poltical rally in Alabama.

Yeah, you 'go with President Trump' on this one.

On the playing field, absolutely right...there is a time and place for everything...that is not the time nor the place imo...they are merely drawing attention to themselves, certainly not for any cause...

They do. They don't like it. But other than a small percentage of renegades, they don't try to stop them. Free speech is a protection from government. It is not a license to do or say whatever you want to do or say on someone else's dime.

Let him drop a knee at the next parade he watches in the street.

Yes, believe it or not, people on the right believe it is wrong. They don't support Nazis they support their right to speak. If a player did a Nazi salute during the national anthem do you really believe that people on the right would not care? If you do, then you really should educate yourself.
