Espn commentator says jerry Jones is acting like a slave owner

[JakeStarkey]

OOM has not been in any physical altercation with blacks, or he would not talk so nonsensically. He runs in fear. If he did, his head was permanently rattled.

The PR disaster is that of the fans, not the owners and players.

Airplanemechanic made up his quote about players standing if he does not post a good link to prove it.

Tutorial for ignorant white conservative people that are too stupid to understand the First Amendment...

When the National Anthem is played you have a First Amendment Right to stand in recognition of the flag and/or anthem.

No one has the right to demand that you kneel or remain seated, this would be a violation of your free exercise of your First Amendment Right.
No one has a Right to demand that others stand for the flag or anthem, it is an American's First Amendment Right to remain seated, take a knee or stick their fingers in their ears, it's their Right.

The power of the First Amendment is that it protects free speech of all viewpoints. You don't have to approve of another's method of acknowledgement of the flag and they do not have to approve of yours.

You both have an equal Right to your personal manner of conduct.

Black Slaves were never afforded Civil Rights and now you have a white man attempting to tell Players that are majority Black that they have no right to exercise their First Amendment Rights prior to performing the duties they are paid to perform.
NFL Players aren't paid to be political props for the government.

For the most part, I’d say your rant was accurate yet incomplete. People do have the right to stand or sit or pick their nose if they choose during the anthem. However owners have rights too. Owners have the right to REQUIRE certain conduct from their employees. If a player elects to kneel, an owner can elect to fire or keep that player from dressing for a game. Owners have the right to protect their business interest. If players kneel during the anthem, and that has a negative impact on the owners business, he has the right to remedy the negative impact.

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.

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."
You are right...this really is a no brainer.

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.

Black Slaves were never afforded Civil Rights and now you have a white man attempting to tell Players that are majority Black that they have no right to exercise their First Amendment Rights prior to performing the duties they are paid to perform.
NFL Players aren't paid to be political props for the government.

NFL players are paid to do whatever the hell their bosses want them to do.
Some owners let their players kneel, and they immediately reap the rewards of a boycott by fans.

Others expect their players to be normal human beings and respect the national anthem of the country they are playing in, and in this case getting paid lots of money to do so.

Players do have a "right" to kneel if they want, you are correct. But a right is only an immunity from government persecution. A private business can still fire you if you act in a way they does harm to their business. If players can be fined, suspended, and fired for off field antics like allegedly beating up a girlfriend, then they sure as hell can fire them for antics they do while on the field wearing their company uniform.

Beating up a girlfriend is a criminal act, kneeling for the Anthem is not; apples to oranges.
Players are not paid to do ANYTHING their bosses want, what gave you that stupid idea???
They get paid for what they do, how much they make irrelevant to their ability to exercise their Rights.
Citizens aren't fooled by the fake and trivial outrage that some Black players are politically more patriotic than the average trump voter.

A criminal act that is only an accusation and not proven.

The NFL also fined and prevented players from many other types of protest and showing support for causes. They prevented the Cowboys from wearing a sticker in support of the 5 Dallas police officers killed. They refused to let players wear a patch in support of things like cancer and 9-11 anniversary.

So yes, the NFL has every right to fine or suspend a player who disrespects the flag and anthem.

I'll simply address you as it seems most folk accurately do...
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!!!!!

It has nothing to do with violating civil rights. Players can disrespect the flag and anthem all they want, they won’t go to jail for it. But they can get fired for it. It’s all about money, if teams lose money because they are pissing off fans, then the players will be the first to get fired or see drastic drops in their contracts.

Sadly, many of the posters (liberal) don’t understand the concept of business rights. They are generally the ones who cash paychecks rather than sign them.

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.

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."
You are right...this really is a no brainer.

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?
