In contrast, 2017 baseball attendance is essentially the same as 2016 (teams are averaging 228 less in attendance per game).

Haven't heard of anyone in MLB taking a knee

Catcher for the Oakland A's became the first one this weekend.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Do it at the restaurant 'around the corner' from the stadium and/or practice facilities.   Be sure NOT to be wearing any Team logo/brand.

NOT ON TEAM PROPERTY!  NOT ON THE TEAM'S CLOCK!   NOT WHILE WEARING YOUR EMPLOYER'S UNIFORM ON COMPANY TIME!

That's how I'd run my team, but evidently some folks have chosen differently. Who is the Federal government to tell them?  If the business owner chooses to allow protests on company time, that's his business.

I don't like it, and I'm no longer watching nor buying licensed products.  But it's their decision.

So issues do not matter like respect for this country?

You are a weird person.

@IsailedawayfromFR

Right, I'm weird for wanting the focus to be on repealing Obamacare, building the new "transparent" wall, defunding Planned Parenthood, etc., instead of a bunch of jerk football players.

Like you said, Trump knows his audience.

I don’t think she is. She appears to be NeverTrump, and that is her privilege. I don’t happen to agree she should use that to ignore the essential message: that America is racist for electing Pes. Trump. That is wrong and we should all take a stand against that.

@aligncare

Go with what you think I "appear" to be rather than what I've stated I am, and what my posts have shown.  It's more convenient for your argument.

No ones talking about government intervention, we are talking about player contracts. There are provisions therein that prohibit just this sort of thing.

Owners have the option to clamp down. But, will they? Or, are they cowed by political correctness and fear.

There you go again.

These protests started LAST YEAR, before Trump was even elected.

If more people would fund their retirement plans instead of paying thugs to chase a ball around, we would all be a lot better off.

@dfwgator

I've heard people from the UK find it odd that the US always plays the National Anthem, you don't have that at the British soccer/football matches in general I'd think, just in the International matches. I don't know if that is true. I don't know if they do that in Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.  Poland, Russia.

Now, it's getting attention. That's almost too bad, they don't show the national anthem in general in just a normal NFL game in tv coverage.

They always seem to show that in the NHL though, I can usually remember it. Hopefully, they don't go down this road.

Yep, and sadly we have become a  country that has raised its children to worship athletes and entertainers, and they see this message day in day out.

A whole new generation of institutional left wingers have been created right under our noses.

Just like I said, lol.  The ration of positive to negative posts has to suit your standards, or "Never Trump!"

Doesn't make a damn to me.  I'll continue to praise him when deserved and criticize when warranted because it's the right thing to do, not because I'm waiting for your approval.

This is where I wish Trump would shut up and mind his own business.

Trump just made the childish protest by a few into a GD political circus affecting every NFL player.

If you do not reject the disrespect of this country, you are weird, unpatriotic, and symptomatic of the problem in education that civics is not longer taught and learned.

The most rabid fan in the Cleveland Browns "Dog Pound" or spiked shoulder pads wearing Raiders Fan has nothing in a group of English soccer hooligans.

Trump is still upset cause the NFL told him to pound sand twice.
