Name me one other job where employees are demanded to "respect" the national anthem before work.
Anyone who whines about players not "respecting" the anthem has way too much time on their hands.
It's less about work and more about tradition. I don't watch pro sports (or any sports for that matter) but I agree that someone who goes out of his way to disrespect a national emblem is probably more trouble than he's worth. Ultimately, the choice is up to the team owner/manager, and, if he's smart, he'll base his decision on feedback from fans.
