I simply responded to Fred's post because it shows a clear misunderstanding of the legal issues involved that only a legal "professional" would know, and such a big deal has been made on these boards over the years about Fred's "profession."

Second, I did not say that there is a rule anywhere requiring him to sit or stand for the Anthem. What I said was, the "conduct detrimental" provision of the CBA gives both the NFL and the teams the contractual right to act if they feel such conduct is detrimental. This is an open and subjective interpretation.

I respect your opinion, but it is not a legal one because you also do not understand the Constitutional legal implications and whom they are enforceable upon. 

Are you an employment law attorney?  I am not, but run a successful executive placement firm and know a fair amount of employment law.  Yes, "conduct detrimental" is a wide ranging clause, but what has Kaepernick done that is detrimental to the league? 

I am not saying you're wrong, but think the union and any number of qualified attorneys would love to face off against the NFL on this subject.
