As peaceful Americans we sit by & watch as other protest and demonstrate against things we hold dear and believe in.
We shake our heads and fuss among ourselves about these things but then do very little about them.
Only we can stand up for ourselves. There is already a movement taking place to boycott NFL and their sponsors that is a great start !!!
But let’s all have our own demonstration to show our support for our Flag and our National Anthem.
It’s a demonstration ANY one who wants can be involved in “ The United We Stand “ demonstration.
On this coming Saturday fly a flag, in your yard, on your porch, on your car. Anywhere you can show one off. Then take a picture of it and post it on Face Book. Post it in groups your are in. Let’s see how many people we can get to support our flag and the our protest for the National Anthem.
The United We Stand Demonstration – Saturday – Sept. 30th |

| Hopefully, I will remember to put a flag out.
I am past tired of these crybaby, multi-millionaire athletes whining about how bad they have it.
edited to add: I wish there was a way to travel sideways and see exactly where they would be now had their ancestors stayed in the country of ethnic origin. I am betting it wouldn't include the bank account or popularity they currently enjoy.

The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the NFL League Rulebook. It states:
“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.
“During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition...
...It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
This is not a first amendment issue but part of the players' NFL employment contract. If the players want to protest, take it outside of the workplace...

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | We have been flying our flags for years at our front gate, I'llget a picture up sometimes when I get out there, these players should be proud of getting to play and make all that money and having the FREEDOM to be doing what they love, shame on all of them. Just makes me sick of what they are letting them get away with.. |

Location: East Texas | I am a die-hard Dallas Cowboys (a/k/a "America's Team) fan. I have lived for football season to watch them play for years and years now. I am very interested to see what they will do tonight on Monday Night Football. I hope they will follow suit with their brothers to the South... the Houston Texans. They all stood yesterday.
I would hate to have to follow this up tomorrow and tell you that my ride-or-die team will no longer be watched at my house anymore if they decide to act stupid!!! |

Location: North Dakota | We have a flag flying in our yard 24/7 365. My brother is in the Army, he just left on a deployment overseas days ago. I will not stand for people who do not stand for him and others who have protected this great country.
I am beyond disappointed in the Cowboys tonight. I thought for sure they would stand at attention and respect the flag. I didn't get to watch any NFL game this weekend because I was disgusted with every one of them. I was excited to get off work today to enjoy the game tonight but I turned it off the moment the cowboys knelt before the anthem. |

Cowboys and the rest of the NFL (former Steeler fan) are all dead to me. They crapped in their nest |

They all knelt in a line before the anthem and then locked arms in "unity" during the anthem.  |

This----they disrespect those same soldiers that fight to give them a right to play football as a profession making millions a year and then moan about not being treated "equal"?????? And some of the soldiers are on their team. . . . Unbelievable. Lost all respect for Jerry Jones tonight. |
