Some teams are reportedly thinking about playing the national anthem many times throughout the game. This is one really strange development.
In order to make sure that both players and spectators are standing throughout the anthem, there has even been discussion of placing “patriot cams” in stadiums.
Ultimately, as one club owner said, “Are you even an American if you’re not standing?” This harsh attitude has, of course, provoked responses from football fans everywhere.
Many ardent NFL supporters, who have been clamoring for the league to “get back to basics,” are hailing the ruling as a triumph of common sense and patriotism.
“At last! Outside Soldier Field, one especially fervent supporter said, “No more of this kneeling nonsense.”
“I didn’t come here to watch grown men silently protest during the anthem; I came here to watch them beat each other!” It’s time for the NFL to take action.
