I am perfectly fine with politicians pushing their political beliefs.
No one is told to; they are asked. But no that is not partisan politics.

You were trying to push the notion that Americans aren't pressured to "respect their country" and/or that even if they were, that would not be "partisan"--nevermind that since Vietnam one party has wrapped itself in the flag and pushed flag burning amendments and the like.   Trump wasn't "asking" pro players to stop their protest during the national anthem. And he was making it clear that if HE owned a business (he does own one, by the way) he would fire people for failure to "show respect."

But you are still sure that business owners, not politicians, don't place partisan pressure on employees to "respect the flag" or vote for a particular party.

My answer was "ambiguous" because you are not sure which party Trump represents unless I spell it out--GOP?

Obviously both A nd B are, especially since the President has intervened on one side of the anthem controversy, and the NFL, as well as individual owners, have had to formulate a policy in response. Of course you don't want me to answer that here.  

And if there is no partisan pressure on players to "show respect," it's mighty mysterious that Kaepernick is still without a job.

Got it. You consider displaying respect for your nation to be a politically partisan issue. I can only assume it's a GOP thing. Well I'll never switch  parties now for sure.

Here's Jerry Jones showing how politically partisan it is:

Quote:Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has spoken out about President Donald Trump’s frequent quotes about the NFL’s national anthem issue, and he thinks the President should let it go.

Jones said Wednesday that Trump’s interest in players protesting during the national anthem and the subsequent rules to govern it is “problematic,” and he wishes that Trump would simply allow it to “go away.”

They want partisan politics to have nothing to do with it, because partisan politics has nothing to do with it/
