If a player feels for any reason that they can’t show proper respect for the flag by standing up during the National Anthem then they should stay in the locker-room until such presentation has occurred. These individuals also will sit out the first quarter of play and will receive a deduction from their salary for such actions. Athletes can continue to protest all they want but won’t disturb those individuals who come to watch a sporting event and not some millionaire protest.
FOOTNOTE- The United States is not a perfect country but has the ability through it’s freedom to continue to move toward such goals for all Americans whatever creed, color or religion they come from. That is why we salute the flag and all the great American’s who have bled and died for such a cause.
