Can't get the article to post, basically the NFL sent a letter to all 33 teams stating players must stand during anthem. It is to be discussed at the next meeting.

No, but it's a start. They can think in their minds whatever they want to think. But, they are at work, this isn't THEIR forum to do as they please. But, I guess the sound of money going down the drain makes the owners realize they can't have it both ways. They have to take a stand (or a knee) either way. Which is shows how utterly ridiculous this is because now we have turned the National Anthem into something people have to pick sides for.
I'm guessing someone soon will file a formal complaint that the National Anthem infringes on their rights. The day will come when we no longer play it just like we no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance, remove pertinent statues, etc.
Local 100 of the United Labor Unions filed a complaint against the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, alleging owner and general manager Jerry Jones has violated the National Labor Relations Act by threatening players if they choose not to stand for the national anthem.
Jones said earlier this week if a player "disrespects the flag" and national anthem by not standing, then the player will not play.
According to the filing to the National Labor Relations Board, "the employer, evidenced by repeated public statements, is attempting to threaten, coerce and intimidate all Dallas Cowboys players on the roster in order to prevent them from exercising concerted activity protected under the act by saying that he will fire any players involved in such concerted activity."

Now kaepernick is suing the whole NFL for collusion to not hire him.
I don't really get his problem. He is the son of a white woman and a black man, his father left before he was born. Seems he is focused on the wrong cause.
