Most are burning their apparel. One guy burned his season tickets.

It's a pretty simple concept, Tom.

Allowing players to take a knee during the national anthem in front of an audience of millions MAYBE wasn't the best idea for the NFL. It was going to piss off half, if not more, of the NFL-watching audience. There will be repercussions, and not the ones that the players want.

Right or wrong, justified or not... it is a self-inflicted wound. Plain and simple.

We shall see. We all shall see.

Who will be the first player to burn or stomp the flag on the field? I guarantee if President Trump poses the question, someone will do it. Just like he was right about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson statues being next, and within hours, the alt-left was in the streets defacing them.

I can see why folks are so outraged but these public displays are as contrived as the player's protests.

Dont you hate it when snowflakes get all butt hurt when their safe space is taken away... Oh No NFL players arnt being PC

All those Lebron fans had to get new gear when he went back to Cleveland.

After LeBron announced he was returning to Cleveland, the top google search in Ohio was "How I unburn a jersey?"

Watson and Watt aren't kneelers. Your arguments are nonsense.

He's saying it's not fair to act like all the NFL players are scumbags or, most fairly, should draw the ire of their anger.

If you burn your season tickets, you can just report them as lost and get new ones printed.

Probably not after you've posted videos of it on Facebook and captured the attention of some local news outlets.

Interesting.

Quote:Maurkice Pouncey, his voice crackling with emotion, apologized to Steelers fans for the team's handling of the national anthem in Chicago and said every player will be standing on the sideline when the “Star-Spangled Banner” is performed Sunday in Baltimore.

“We have to make it right,” Pouncey said Wednesday afternoon. “I honestly think we will go out there and make it right.”

Pouncey, an eight-year veteran and five-time Pro Bowl selection, was the first Steelers player to say the entire roster will be standing for the anthem. On Monday, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said the team would be on the field after players remained inside a tunnel last Sunday when the anthem was played at Soldier Field.

“As far as I know, it's 100 percent participation,” Pouncey said, later adding. “If not, you'll all have something to talk about, but as far as I know, everyone on the Pittsburgh Steelers will go out there.”
