Fan fury as three Kansas City Chiefs players sit or kneel during the national anthem hours after 59 Americans died in Las Vegas massacre

    Marcus Peters, Chiefs cornerback, was the only seated player shown on TV
    But Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston knelt while Ukeme Eligwe sat on bench
    Some fans expressed ire at decision to sit on day of mourning with flag half-staff
    ESPN had not planned to air the national anthem before Monday Night Football
    But reversed course in the wake of shooting massacre in Las Vegas late Sunday
    All of the Washington Redskins team remained standing for anthem on Monday

Stupid SOBs.

Stupid SOBs.

A responsible owner would reject them by enforcing the conduct clause of the player's contract.

The NFL and owners are cowering to the players, who deserve nothing but disgust.

The 9o% of players who respect our country could do something but are choosing not to.

Yes.  I watched almost every Packer game last year. Even the wife, who hates most sports, got excited and watched the games.
No more.  Screw 'em.
