Good point, I'm surprised more people haven't commented on that, instead they complain about fake patriotism.

Serious question though, Why do people keep bringing up or saying things like "They shouldn't protest at work or I can't protest things at my job"?

Stop comparing your job to theirs it is not even remotely the same. First off all most of you are not millionaires and second of all your job doesnt play the anthem before the start of you work day.

If they did play the anthem at your job then I guarantee that you'll see some protests.

It is a business deal. What is creepy, or fake about that?

Why is it creepy? It is a business deal, just like any other. The military pays the NFL, and gets advertising, just like Papa Johns, Budweiser, and Chevrolet. Do you really just hate the country, and our military that much?

Cause its forcing people to be patriotic.

There is reason why they stopped playing it in schools.

Good riddance. He can focus on “community activism” and stay away from making millions.

That will be the last time he disrespects the hand that feeds him

They haven't stopped playing it in schools but they can't make you stand if you don't want to.

But according to news today, the NFL is making a new rule: players do not have to come on the field for the national anthem. I think this is awful but better than kneeling.
