NFL did fans and players a favor with anthem rule

Most NFL players will not notice this, but the owners helped them on Wednesday. I returned to a simple persuasion rule

When the national anthem began to collapse, this is social justice of the alliance. This is a typical case of self destruction

The ideas that they tried to make were immediately hidden by their shipping method. Many fans do not see the players standing there looking for things, but they are watching it spit.

In the victory of these fans, the team will be fined if the player or other team member kneels, raises his fist or otherwise respects the flag. But the player can choose to stay in the changing room

In this very sensitive situation, this is a fairly compromise. If you do not want to represent the national flag, Mr. Pult, no one can help you.

But if you want to protest the police brutality, racial discrimination, income disparity, global warming, brown M & M in a degenerated bathroom or change room, you have to do it at your own time not.

The rules on Wednesday will undoubtedly cause another signal of constitutional ignorance. People will shout, cry, mutter, it will violate the player's First Amendment right.

This amendment prohibits the government from interfering with free exercise of speech and religion.

Mark Harsh, a law professor at Harvard University, told MarketWatch, "Many people invoke the amendment Article 1 in a personal environment, say what they want, have an absolute right to say what they want I am thinking. " "They discovered that this is not the case in individual workplaces."

It is particularly difficult for professional athletes who are not accustomed to saying "no". On Wednesday, the player 's trade union began to attack their saber soon, it said it might not represent such possible violation of the collective bargaining agreement.

NFL is also considering a free throw of 15 yards against a team that violates the rules. For many fans this will not work.

It seems that people can not understand why Colin Kapnik 's national anthem and squat were not used to fall asleep by Colin Kappen.

Two years ago, when he began the protest campaign, Kaepernick certainly did not get it. He wants to concentrate on the police he sees like KKK.

Many people will automatically agree with him. No. But if he does it more subtly, there is at least a piece that is willing to hear him

They know that the United States is not perfect, but they value the concept represented by the national flag. When they see the flags of soldiers who have collapsed, they will have a lump in the throat.

Protestors and defenders denied that this feeling even existed. They condemn the declining attendance rate and television audience rating of all people except the national anthem.

One thing that everyone can agree with this fuss is that the owner of NFL is a businessman. They saw how protest actions are weakening their business, and decided to take action now.

Players can still position and knees. They will not be allowed in front of fans who pay not to political protests but to watch football games.

There is no rule in the NFL that obliges players to represent the national anthem. So, is that the national anthem is in violation of the professional responsibility of the NFL player? Will not it respect this profession? This is the responsibility of all NFL representatives, including fans who view Kaepernick's protest as an insult to himself, the game, or the banner. Personally, I do not have it. Kaepernick knew the reason for the protest from the beginning, and he did not think he was "anti-Americans". As a fan I agree with the essence of his protest, I accept his words but I am likely to do so, do not forget here: the police are responsible for killing people in color is there. (And the feeling that a person is protesting Kaepernick is another big factor for judging various reactions.)

Last weekend, the NFL and players protest action caused great indignation, especially during the national anthem. President Cardpost attacked the protesters (requesting the owner to "dismiss the nephew 's son") and many NFL fans were disappointed. Other fans disappointed when the player first protested because "People gave the banner life". Many of these people promised to boycott the national football league after staying in the national anthem before the Sunday game or staying in the changing room.
