Way to promote jingoism there, Goddell!), and that whole "stop beating women" stuff they've been preaching since Ray Rice is even more propaganda forced on me against my will.
When you tune into an NFL game you see a handful of players kneeling during the anthem and then you also see like 100+ veterans on the field NOT kneeling for the anthem...so we're being bombarded with BOTH political statements "I love the country and freedom" and "I hate the country and freedom and I make way too much money playing a kiddie game any poster on this message board could play if he really wanted to." I'm sick of seeing stuff that isn't football but I'm sick of that too because the NFL is rigged against the Bengals. ARGH!!!
Except that standing for the Nation Anthem is not a political statement.
Honor of flag and country has no political side, never did, despite leftists trying to make it one.
Your problem is your disdain for the display of patriotism.
