How is it constitutional to force someone to stand for the anthem?
-
They're on the clock, their employer can make them do what they want within the terms of their contract.
-
No where in an NFL contract does it say "you are getting paid for standing during the national anthem" so no they're not "on the clock"
-
They're getting paid to show up to the game on time for warmup etc, so they are dressed and on the clock so to speak.
-
I assume you are employed; do you believe you are required to perform literally any action requested of you between 9-5 no matter what?
-
That isn't right either, they can't force you to do anything unsafe or illegal among other things.

Until 2009 the players were NOT on the field for the anthem. Change was requested by gov’t to help boost military recruitment.

Also the reason for the rising number of military commercials during the games

My dad served in the Navy, WWII until 1945. The military was not very nice to him & the country/ state (GA) was not appreciative either

-
I’ve heard about how soldiers who were military men of color were treated during WW ll. Not right then not right now

Thanks Jackie! My dad never dwelled on it much though. We were blessed
I have "7" brothers & 4 served, 2 Army, 1 Air Force, & 1 Navy.
