NFL Players Must Stand During National Anthem

Cool. Now how shall the team management demonstrate its patriotism? I'd advocate a rule that says that anyone with more than a 10% share in a team must publish his or her income tax returns; that all teams must prominently publish their tax breaks and subsidies; and that all contributions to any political campaign or organization that may affect the future of the team be printed in the game programs.

Oh, and now that he can't kneel, bring back Colin Kaepernick.

While I think that "stay in the locker room" is probably a reasonable compromise for their complaining advertisers/audience, my concern is the lack of NFLPA mentioning here. Were they involved or is this an owner-only decision? Also, the NFL needs to tread lightly here because they are granted monopoly exemptions by the government in exchange for retaining employee rights above what might be allowed in a more employee-mobile industry.

Disappointing, but expected. Looks like my Fantasy Football hiatus will extend into another year.

I'm trying but I can't see the connection to hackernews here.

Seems like a good rule. Removes any possibility for controversy.

Keep politics out of the workplace, it just makes sense. See Google for evidence.
