How the NFL should address the national anthem controversy

[samhain]

I have to admit, that although I'm all for players protesting, I might be one of the few that really enjoy the anthem and opening proceedings. It's probably just conditioning from being to a hundred or so Bengals games, but something about the start of the anthem means that the moment I've waited all week for is finally starting. I like the quiet reverence and calm before the dumb tiger Jumbotron video, then GnR, then kickoff.. I get pretty pissed if I run late and miss the process, lol.

Then again, I'm a creature of habit. I'm still pissed that they canned Brad Johanssen thus ending his game-opening monologues.
