NFL Commish: ‘Fans should be OK with anthem protest.

However, if some "missed his chance" player wants to draw negative attention to himself by sitting, all power to him.  As, in my opinion, it's all for spectacle, a way to remain in the topic of conversation.  If everyone would just ignore those attempting to draw that attention, the actions would likely stop.  Ever raised a kid?

If I am watching on TV, I won't stand, but I do stop talking and take off my hat.

Me: NFL Commish should be OK with footing the bill for everyone's $100 ticket, $20 parking, $10 beer so we can watch oversized children who are multi-millionaires and 1%ers use our entertainment and our national anthem in order to complain about inequality and injustice, before they play a game for 3 hours so they can collect a $500k paycheck for their weeks work, and then drive off in their $150k sports car. While the main perpetrators of the complaints have not only never voted in their lives, but have never even REGISTERED to vote, and enjoy wearing t-shirts of notoriously ruthless dictators and praising them.
