Here's the NFL game operations manual

“The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Hello; OK that reads real clear to me. Seems the "may" result in discipline bit is the way out of doing anything.

I hate it but the players and the lack of "discipline" by the NFL bosses are making it so I will have to stop watching the games. I have watched many fewer already and am trying to stop if I know the players kneel. If anyone on this forum has the information I hope to know which teams among the NFL do have all the players on the field at attention for the flag ceremony. If there are two such teams that way I might get to watch when they play each other

Hello; OK so far the Dallas cowboys are on the list of teams that "stand for the flag". Are there any others?

Did he?.....4 td passes to blow out Arizona.He was going on the other day about "being in another place." He sure is playing like it.

Eagles have a bright future. Hate to admit it lol

Looks like Eagles are going to win the division.

Yup dallas doesnt have the def to hang with them.

I think the Pence thing was staged. He knew the 49ners were going to kneel before going to the game.

Thought the same thing

Hah!...Rumor has it that Kaprnik says he will behave and stand for the anthem if a team brings him on.If true I wonder what all of his peers who backed him thinks if him now?

From what i was reading last night the reporter re-canted the statement

Yes,they did well.
I'm not sure about sure about other areas but for some reason our local news seems to be riding this thing with Cam .One channel keeps playing a video clip of a female youth explaining the different routes to Newton.

Its actually tougher to make it to the dallas cheerleaders squad than it is to make a spot on the dallas cowboys roster.

Apparently the team has extremely high standards for it's cowgirls.
