Clark Hunt, CEO and Owner of the Kansas City #Chiefs called a meeting with all of his Coaches, Players and field staff and firmly told them,
"You are all simply paid performers on a stage, and that field is my stage!"

"You will stand, with your hand over your heart and with respect, when our country's National Anthem is being played, or you will no longer be a Kansas City Chief, a coach for the Kansas City Chiefs, or have any association with the Chief's organization!"

"I will immediately fire you, no matter who you are! You can make your political statements off the field, but when you're employed by me and I'm signing your check, I demand that you make our fans proud and not embarrass them."
Good for him!! Hope all the NFL owners follow!!!

It's about time.

That's a fair assessment.

When the players go home and are in the parking lot they can say what they want.

Compliance coming. These people know how lucky they are to be in the NFL. They are not going to toss out everything they have worked for over this issue. This is what should have happened from the start.

I don't have a problem with this. I wouldn't do it. But I don't have a problem with it.

This is fake, another one of those Facebook rumors meant to trick the old and the ignorant. Thread should be locked.

Yep. It's a fake.

Come on man, even Jim Hoft didn't pick that one up. Not that he wouldn't. Probably didn't see it.

For what? It ain't "freedom of speech", that I can tell you...

Yea, just catching up, doesn't surprise me it would be a fake. He'd be on sound footing if it weren't though.

Let's say hypothetically it were true, lawsuit for what? Freedom of Speech protects you from the government, not from employers.

Shame on us.

Man I love this board. Was this in the Baltimore Gazette too?
