    Why does Trump keep bringing this up? No one gave a fuck about this a couple of weeks ago when he made it an issue and it had died down this week until he commanded Pence to pull that stunt.

    Or maybe it speaks to the fact that Jerry Jones is the asshole we always knew he was?

    Before the sponsors pulled their ads?

    I honestly don't know why the change, but I suspect it has something to do with wallet.

    Yes but it was before the anthem. Once anthem started they stood.

    If you want to talk about taxpayer's being ripped off, how about hundreds of millions of dollars in tax subsidies for a massively profitable industry?

    Last week, Jones was Rasta's hero.

    Go figure.

    Why aren't the player protests considered staged, too? They are, by definition.

    Anyhow...

    NFL Owners to Discuss Policy on Standing for Anthem
    A league spokesman said owners will consider player input on the issue, but suggested that a rule change would not require player approval

    The National Football League’s owners will discuss at meetings next week whether to unilaterally change the league policy to require players to stand during the national anthem.

    The decision to consider the change came after weeks of persistent criticism from President Donald Trump about players protesting during the anthem, including his call for fans to boycott games if the demonstrations continue.

    In a conference call, NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said league officials, owners, fans, and likely certain players are frustrated that the issue has dominated the game in recent weeks. He said owners will consider player input on the issue, but suggested that a rule change would not require player approval.

    “I don’t believe that the anthem per se is something that needs to be collectively bargained,” Lockhart said.

    Joe Lockhart knows football and politics is like oil and water. The government (mighty p.o.t.u.s) should have ignored this. Leave sport alone! Absolutely no sky boxes for Trump and his kind. Better off he concentrates thHAYPO5YSfaje newsmoon.jpg on urgent bullshit like this.
