[QUOTE="undguy, post: 126317, member: 1315"] What if he had said "I am refusing to stand for the anthem because I can't honor a government that treats its disabled veterans so poorly". Still want to string him up, cut off his balls, run him out of the country? If you can honestly say you are pissed solely because he refused to honor the flag and that his reason is totally irrelevant you have a better argument. But the minute we can punish for content of speech then we are no longer the home of the free - we are Russia, Iran, Iraq. Those of you bringing up workplace scenarios are talking apples and oranges. Most private businesses have rules and regulations necessary for the business to run in an orderly manner. Here it is at least somewhat important that the NFL does not require players to stand for the anthem. Personally I wish they did have such a rule so they would have a valid reason to fire him.
