My father did 20 years, grandfather did 4 (Vietnam), step mom did 4, best friend currently serves. Don’t preach to me what’s right and what’s wrong from taking a knee, become knowledgeable about why they were taking a knee.

The NFL is about 70% black. If united and didn’t take the field at all, it would upset a lot of people and a lot of executives. Today the NFL went backwards not forward. The NFLPA was not made aware of this new policy.pic.twitter.com/y3wsdzXhSm

So in other words, they don't want the protest to be seen.

Hmmm. If they all or most stay inside I bet that will end up being a problem as well.

I'm done with the NFL over this. The players have every right to do what they want during the anthem. Game over, Goodell.
-
And another thing...the players are being ordered to stand? Fine, then they should stand with their backs turned to the flag, because that's what America is doing to its black citizens.

Your free speech rights are completely intact if you stay in the locker room. What the employer is saying is “We respect the flag and country” if as a agent of the league a player doesn’t agree don’t come out.

"Your free speech rights are completely intact if you stay in the locker room." If your brain weren't so full of propagandistic jingo, you might be able to understand the foolishness of what you wrote...

Just because they're black doesn't mean they support disrespecting the anthem. That's a stereotype.
-
Key word in there is “if”

You're saying if every black person in The NFL walked out, which implies that you think every black person supports kneeling, which cannot be farther from The truth. There are black Republicans and patriots, believe it or not.
-
Can we agree Veterans are patriots? Most vets agree the players have a right to kneel.
-
Where is The proof? Or are you just assuming that everyone thinks like you do? Because that's not true.

I've watch the NFL since the sixties, but I'm done! It's not about First Downs now, it's about the First Amendment !!!
