Let me continue to make you look stupid:I'll simply address you as it seems most folk accurately do...He
Here ya go RECONUTSFORBRAINS- There is nothing un-named or imaginary about the NFL personal Conduct Policy. Any decent attorney could make a good argument that kneeling during the Anthem is a clear violation. Notice this particular passage- we must strive to conduct ourselves in ways that favorably reflect on ourselves, our teams, the communities we represent, and the NFL. Any reasonable person would recognize that if fans are booing your behavior before the game even starts, then your behavior is detrimental and reflects poorly on the league. Is that NAMED and NON-IMAGINERY enough for you?So you are attempting to say that no clause exists that mandate players stand however some un-named imaginary rule exists that mandates that players stand for the "good of the team."Your response bears some semblance of accuracy, just a semblance...
As it stands now there is no clause in the League or Players contract that mandate that they stand.
A owner will be sued straight out of his pants if he tried that stunt.
Sure, he may be sued, but a decent attorney will know how to defend him. There is no need for a specific clause that players stand, but there are very likely clauses that insist on conduct that is consistent with what is good for the team, and if your home crowd boos you, well that isn’t good for your team. It’s a no brainer.
You are right...this really is a no brainer.
PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY League Policies for Players 2016 It is a privilege to be part of the National Football League. Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business. Conduct by anyone in the league that is illegal, violent, dangerous, or irresponsible puts innocent victims at risk, damages the reputation of others in the game, and undercuts public respect and support for the NFL. We must endeavor at all times to be people of high character; we must show respect for others inside and outside our workplace; and we must strive to conduct ourselves in ways that favorably reflect on ourselves, our teams, the communities we represent, and the NFL. To this end, the league has increased education regarding respect and appropriate behavior, has provided resources for all employees to assist them in conforming their behavior to the standards expected of them, and has made clear that the league’s goal is to prevent violations of the Personal Conduct Policy. In order to uphold our high standards, when violations of this Personal Conduct Policy do occur, appropriate disciplinary action must follow. This Personal Conduct Policy is issued pursuant to the Commissioner’s authority under the Constitution and Bylaws, Collective Bargaining Agreement and NFL Player Contract to address and sanction conduct detrimental to the league and professional football. It applies to players under contract; all rookie players selected in the NFL college draft and all undrafted rookie players, unsigned veterans who were under contract in the prior League Year; and other prospective players once they commence negotiations with a club concerning employment.
Moron, only an attorney as stupid as yourself would use the passage you did as an legal excuse to violate the Civil Rights of players.
To think that you are this stupid gives me new insight into the level of stupd that some people live.
If for some reason, the majority of fans were ignorantly demanding that all players kneel instead of standing it would be the same violation of their Rights.
No attorney is going before any Judge with any credibility and ask for a legal order to violate the U.S. Constitution...GTFOH!!!!!
I’m sorry your google button wasn’t working before you posted and now are made to look like a fool, but perhaps you’ll learn to research before posting to avoid such embarrassment in the future.
Read it and weep sport, and learn to research!
Verify: Can NFL players get fired for protesting during the national anthem?
The short answer is, yes – players can be fired for not standing during the national anthem.
Per Whitney Traylor, an attorney and law professor at MSU Denver, at-will employees can be terminated for insubordination if the employer requires standing during the national anthem and they refuse.
But when it comes to the NFL and professional football players, it becomes a matter of what is in the contract, because they are not at-will employees.
“Many of those contracts have morality clauses, or other similar clauses that say something to the effect that if you bring disrepute onto the league, onto the team, that they can terminate you,” Traylor said.
The NFL aren't at will employers. Your argument just ran into a three foot brick wall...lol.
A Judge's primary responsibility is to uphold the Constitution and laws of his Jurisdiction, so yeah send your attorney in front of a Judge with a legal request to violate the Constitutional Rights of players...lol.
Wonder why that hasn't been done yet...oh yeah, other people aren't that stupid.
