        Isn't this illegal since the Supreme Court said, you don't have to stand??

        No, who says it’s a right for him to be on the team? If he wants to be in the team he has to follow the teams rules.

        What's at issue is whether or not the school has a right to make him stand.

        They absolutely have every right to kick him off the team. They don’t have to make him stand, but he knew there would be consequences for it

        Again, if you punish someone for NOT standing, you are compelling them to stand.

        It’s his choice. It boils down what’s more important to him.

        Follow logic: It's not a "choice" if you MUST stand to stay on the team. In effect, the school is saying he must stand or he's off the team

        So true. The list is so long that even if Twitter had bestowed 240 characters upon me by now . . . it still wouldn’t be enough.

        NFL (players) needs to walk out. Stand behind their youth who are following their lead.

        Then, they need to fight back. They have legal rights. Loopholes and exceptions don’t only apply to the majority, who get away w/murder.
