With the return of professional football’s regular season, we have a return to the turmoil and debate that has been injected into the game over protests staged by some players during the singing of our National Anthem.
To broaden the topic for a moment, perhaps we should not be surprised. We live in a time when divisive political ideology has infected most every area of our lives. We see it in religion, education, finances, entertainment, and even in our choice of the foods we consume. As a society it has come to the point where there is little left that a person can do that isn’t interpreted by some group as a political statement. This is a recipe for a society descending into turmoil with all the implications that involves.
Move on to page 2:
However, this statutory suggestion does not have any penalty associated with violations. 36 U.S.C. § 301 This behavioral requirement for the national anthem is subject to the same First Amendment controversies that surround the Pledge of Allegiance.[50] For example, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not sing the national anthem, though they are taught that standing is an “ethical decision” that individual believers must make based on their “conscience.”[51][52][53
We can live without ESPN.
If you racist don’t like this country go back to your ROOTS meaning AFRICA

I liked Harrison’s response: “Anybody on my team not standing for the National Anthem better have a broken leg or they’re gonna have one.”
