There is a better time and place in which the football players could protest. If it was not for the sacrifice of our American men and women who have sacrificed their lives, or been wounded for their country but some singers also took a knee shame on all of you! That's what is wrong with our country no one respects anything anymore no morals, no compassion, no character.

Very disappointed in Pete Carol, Paul Allen, players, other 31 teams, & Roger Goodell. Pete Rozelle wouldn’t have allowed this, nor greatest coaches; Tom Landry, Vince Lombardi, Joe Gibbs & many others. Not appearing on the field for the National Anthem is just as disrespectful as not standing at attention & rendering proper salute--hand over heart or military salute for veterans (includes NFL veteran players, coaches, & owners). The Game Operations Manual, though doesn’t say MUST stand (very poor choice of words), does say coaches and players must appear on field/sideline for Anthem. Again, sadly, only recommend they stand. You've all lost my respect. No problem sitting to discuss legitimate grievances. But, won’t sit with those who disrespect the flag of the country giving opportunities they have. Your display is disgusting & a disgrace. Players & coaches are employees, like all employees, have rules set forth by their employer that they are to follow, or suffer the consequences, like any employee of any other company not abiding by company rules. Until things change I will not watch any more NFL & encourage others to do the same.

They also seem to have forgotten the hard working Americans who watch them chase a piece of leather up and down the field every week. They are employees of the NFL YOU DON"T GET TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WHILE ON THE CLOCK as is the case in most places of employment. Mr. Godell and the team owners need to grow some man balls like our President and Vice President have and take a stand, otherwise I think you should all be in the unemployment line.

Players are getting paid millions of dollars to play football. The least they could do is respect our country. If it was up to me, I would fire every one of them that don't stand. What the Dallas Cowboys and coach did was unforgivable. I was a Cowboy fan from my teens till now. I am 68 years old now. I am no longer a Cowboy fan as several of my friends feel the same. It is a slap in the face against the men and women who fought and died defending this great nation! Seems like they died in vain. The same for the people who died on 9-11 and elsewhere.

Don't make it political. I respect the right to take a stand on issues, just don't do it at the expense of ruining one of America's favorites past times! Find a different forum to voice your opinions.
