I hope this is untrue. It's all over the web. It's on 9/11. Without reliving the Kapernick thread, let's just hope these role models don't do this on such a patriotic day. However, should they not stand, I'd like to hope it will provide our boys some motivation to beat them on the field.

A bunch of misguided idiots. They don't even know what they are protesting.

Clueless sheep.

I can't see Wilson doing this.

While Wagner said he didn’t know if he would sit down during the anthem he said “anything we want to do, it’s not going to be individual. It’s going to be a team thing. That’s what the world needs to see. The world needs to see people coming together versus being individuals.”

excuse me, but isn't that EXACTLY what Kapernick is doing?

Lord help us.

If you're protesting it as black lives matter, shouldn't you at least stand for the black people that willingly died for that same flag? I'm just saying.

The protests have nothing to do with the military. They're not being anti-military, or even anti-American. They're protesting social injustice.

To me, the most bizarre thing to come out of all of this (and lets face it, its weird), is how for so many people, the flag ONLY means the military. The flag represents the nation, the government, the lands and the people. The insistance from so many that anything you say or do about the flag is directly related to the military is something thats beyond me.

Then why do it during the anthem. Do it when they buy ice cream or get their oil changed.

I'm hoping the cameras simply stop showing the sidelines and stay tight on the flag and the performer who is also being disrespected while singing the anthem which was probably their life time dream. This mostly goes away if we just stop filming them being disrespectful. Oh, and you can argue with me through eternity and I'll win; they are being disrespectful. This country has given these spoiled brats everything and they are ingrates by not honoring it.

The part I don't get, is I almost get a little misty every time I hear that song and see them honor the flag and the fallen. To have anyone that wants to willingly detract from that for their own agenda just makes my blood boil. The icing on the cake is that the NFL allows this to happen is amazing to me.

Stand and respect the anthem and the flag it's part of your job. If you don't do it, you don't play and your game check goes to Wounded Warriors. If the players don't like it, there are literally thousands ready to take their place. We are prepared to lose this game to ensure you respect this country.

Forcing someone to stand for the anthem is not respect. It is compliance. It is disrespectful to anyone who served in the uniform and against everything this country stands for.

You can disagree with the Anthem and still respect those fallen to give you the right to disagree.

I am agnostic however if i am at a family event or a friends house and they want to say grace i bow my head i dont say anything but i do bow my head.. Why? Respect for others.

Force nationalism is a scary form of nationalism.

You can call it 'respect', it is still freaking scary.

I never said anything about forcing anything.

If Collin or anyone wants to sit they can sit. People that dont appreciate it however do have a voice.

Plus with how we actually treat or troops after combat is much more disrespectful.
It is sad that is not getting more press than a football player doing anything.

Empathy. Google that word. Try to incorporate it into your life. You might grow to be less bitter towards those who have a different experience than you.

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

They do. It is their right as an American citizen to be upset.

Imo calling for punishment or forcing them to stand is scary

Empathy towards what? Perception is just that perception its not always based on factual information. Instead of catering to false perception wouldnt it better to educate people on actual information?
