Random, but yesterday I was thinking that if Al Davis were alive and we sent him @Mr.Guy's Pop Warner highlight reel, our boy would be killing it in the league right now. Al wouldn't be able to resist a guy doing backflips over DBs and being so fast that he could play QB and WR in the same play.

Al would let him kneel during the anthem too. Rule change or not.
 
I hope this doesnt happen for the sole fact that Drumft will go around claiming this as a policy win. "I made those sons of *****es change the rules to respect the country!!!!!!!!"
 
Might have to stop watching football if this happens. I love football but this is getting out of hand. If you're more concerned with players standing up for a flag than Puerto Rico and blacks/hispanics getting treated fairly, then why should I support this.

The fact that they're considering making people stand, instead of making teams stay in the locker room for this is disgusting.

Re: Fall Meeting/National Anthem

We live in a country that can feel very divided. Sports, and especially the NFL, brings people together and lets them set aside those divisions, at least for a few hours. The current dispute over the National Anthem is threatening to erode the unifying power of our game, and is now dividing us, and our players, from many fans across the country.

I’m very proud of our players and owners who have done the hard work over the past year to listen, understand and attempt to address the underlying issues within their communities. At our September committee meetings, we heard directly from several players about why these issues are so important to them and how we can support their work. And last week, we met with the leadership of the NFLPA and more players to advance the dialogue.

Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us. We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players.

Building on many discussions with clubs and players, we have worked to develop a plan that we will review with you at next week’s League meeting. This would include such elements as an in-season platform to promote the work of our players on these core issues, and that will help to promote positive change in our country. We want to ensure that any work at the League level is consistent with the work that each club is doing in its own community, and that we dedicate a platform that can enable these initiatives to succeed. Additionally, we will continue the unprecedented dialogue with our players.

I expect and look forward to a full and open discussion of these issues when we meet next week in New York. Everyone involved in the game needs to come together on a path forward to continue to be a force for good within our communities, protect the game, and preserve our relationship with fans throughout the country. The NFL is at its best when we ourselves are unified. In that spirit, let’s resolve that next week we will meet this challenge in a unified and positive way.

What was the barrier before the "anthem protest"

Space was killing me in the first quarter for saying Ben washed and the worst out of the three from that class. Still haven't gotten my apology.

My dearest Baller, now known as hahahaha.

I apologize for denying ben's washedness.

Please accept my invitation to talk about our QB's struggles at my place, as we sip on the finest of E&J, smoke blunts, and dine on fried fish
