OP, I agree that your suggestion, if enacted, would de-politicize the national anthem (although only the far left could have ever been successful in politicizing something that should be so unifying to begin with). But I don't want that to happen. The "leagues" have already taken their stance and, quite frankly, I want to see them crash and burn. But I've been boycotting the professional leagues since their players started injecting politics through support of the likes of Michael Brown and Trayvon Margin, despite the great weight of the evidence in both cases contradicting the claims by the likes of Al Sharpton in the matters.
The players are part of a union. While what you're saying sounds cute (in a bigotry type of way), there wont be an NFL without the players. Period! The players hold the majority of the power in this business model.. No one shows up to watch the team owners...
What a loony statement. Having written that, I do agree that the players hold more power than team owners. But the public has the most power in this conversation. I hope that the efforts of patriotic Americans continue to see declining revenues/lower audience attendance for these leagues.
It was a specific threat against a specific poster - his "enemy".
I see that. I just wonder if the same advice goes for all the black men who kill other black men. I'm assuming they at least "don't care" for them if they are killing them.

I don't make threats on CD. I speak truth to power.. And I know my enemy very well, thank you... Today's enemy is the same enemy from Colonization, the same enemy since reconstruction, the same enemy since the civil rights movement, and the same enemy is now rearing his ugly head in 2017... The enemy hasn't changed, only the times...

Loony? Listen to yourself... LOL... My statement was in reference to the business relationship, not the consumer relationship. Say woke...

Though I agreed with some of their policy I now appreciate the gentlemen that Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama were. Not one of them would engage in such talk or continuously engage in verbal wars with people over minor personal things. There are SO much bigger things the US president should worry about other than kneeling NFL players or Steph Curry refusing to attend the White House. I hope nothing bad happens with North Korea's nukes while Trump is too busy tweeting at some athlete.
