Yes DS I believe there has to be regulations on what they have to do during the National Anthem and also have regulations for on field celebration. Only reason is that if allowed the game would become a complete joke because those that play the game and get payed well for it would continue to push it till the game would be lost in the BS that would follow. The headphone stuff is not applicable to this discussion, different story but that's all about sponsorship dollars. No different than working at Burger King, you have to wear the outfit, many places have rules about tattoo's showing, very few businesses allow you to "protest" when on the clock. We are our own worse enemies when it comes to this stuff, reality is that if it's allowed it will get out of control and without standards chaos and anarchy will reign. This reminds very much of discussions I use to have when managing individuals that come from very liberal parents, they just don't like to be told what they can and cannot do, it's impossible to make the simple argument that there is a time and place for you to be able to protest, when you are working you loose some of those rights if you want to keep your job. My favorite saying when things got out of control was "this is not a democracy", caused quite a few head explosions when I used that line.

Seal,

First, thanks for being the few where we can actually have a productive conversation. Don't think I've ever said that here.

Second, while I understand that you say that "Burger King" is a corporation, my previous post tried to paint the NFL as a 'corporation,' which it is. And I said before, why isn't the NFL enacting any type of universal policy (much like BK does with their uniforms) when it comes to the national anthem? Much like Burger King has statutes that can curtail employee conduct, why can't the NFL do the same thing? Why haven't they've done so considering what is happening?

NFLPA?

Remember, unions are bad.

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression”.. So Make it right the First time.

When you meet people, you have five minutes to establish a positive relationship. Conclusions aren’t drawn solely from what a person says. 90% of opinions are formed based on non-verbal communication alone – your body language. Even the most confident person can send mixed messages with their body language.
A first impression is usually formed within just a few seconds; most of the time you haven’t even said a full sentence.
First impressions are more heavily influenced by nonverbal cues than verbal cues. In fact, studies have found that nonverbal cues have over four times the impact on the impression you make than anything you say. Luckily, the same nonverbal factors that draw you to certain people are what others are instinctively looking for in you.
These are the very qualities that you can project nonverbally in those first crucial few seconds. Here are some powerful ways to make a positive first impression.

• Adjust your attitude.

People pick up your attitude instantly. Before you turn to greet someone, or enter an office for a business interview, or step onstage to make a presentation, think about the situation and make a conscious choice about the attitude you want to embody. Attitudes that attract people include friendly, happy, receptive, patient, approachable, welcoming, helpful and curious. Attitudes that are off-putting include angry, impatient, bored, arrogant, afraid, disheartened, and suspicious.

Love the screenshot at 12:30 am. Wonder what you were doing up at that time?

In any case, I do remember that post, thank you for reminding me, one of my favs, since it established your lack of sensibility from the get go. You sure made a great first impression!

Claiming to catch and release fish after using a treble hook and PowerBait? I thought you were trolling us at the time, as did a few others, but apparently not. Good post tho. It was the same one where you immediately made your mark (and an *** outta yourself) without even having to travel to the GenDisc forum. Shame you deleted a few of your posts tho, but glad people quoted your brilliance.....

http://fishingnetwork.net/forum4/sho...hp?75771-Jenks

Looks like you didn't make too many friends then and looks like things haven't changed now. Still catching and releasing gut hooked fish?

But to get back to the topic at hand, when is the NFL going to mandate that all players must stand for the national anthem? Now you've got cheerleaders doing it. Pure Anarchy!!!!



The NFL should mandate standing up with your right hand over your heart.

And also mandate pre-game and post-game prayers. (But not to Buddha or Allah, cuz that would be weird)

I'm sorry but holy **** you guys giving kap hell are horrible people. I'm white and have never known what it is like to not trust authority figures. I believe all of you against his protest would feel the same if your car was broke down and you ended up getting tased. But wait, these black people aren't getting tased. They are being shot in public and dying in their own blood while the police watch. I'll give you one example and if you try to fight it then go to hell. The dude that was shot in Minnesota in his car with the kid in the back was a beloved man in the school system who on a regular basis tried to teach troubled kids at the high school he worked at to straighten up their lives. That officer went on paid administrative leave none the less. Now let's compare that to a situation in the past that supposedly shocked America. A white man walks into a bible study in South Carolina and kills 9 people in cold blood. Knowing they had their guy and what car he was in, the police proceeded to follow him for 37 miles until he voluntarily decided to stop. They arrested him and went on their way back. Well on that way back they decided to stop at a Burger King so the murderer could get some food in him. Why is it that unarmed black guys are being shot in their tracks yet this p.o.s. got to live and was fed a somewhat decent meal while in custody? Maybe some of you need to look into the situation first. Have any of you served? Until you have don't say there are people fighting for that flag and that's why we have to stand. Maybe ask a few people who have and are serving now and see what they think about kap expressing his freedoms in a non-harmful way. A bunch of you are just scumbags who think you are REAL AMERICANS. Well guess what, last time I checked REAL AMERICANS were free people and unfortunately it's not that way unless you have light skin.

Shouldn't you be releasing trout that you caught on treble hooks and Powerbait while arguing your cockamamie theory that we never landed on the moon?

it so happens that my first impression of this rebound, is that if you cause a commotion with an opinion, you get threatened with physical violence...


would you like me to put up the PM post for all to see?






















i also see there are deek heds like you that are sad cause they bought an expensive net and get laughed at.







i had no idea that this forum was going to be like that.

Seal,


Remember, unions are bad.

(Except for police unions)

Do you like walking up stairs? There is an Elevator Union. Very off topic. But since this post has gone sideways, thought I would chime in

PS
DS. Your recent posts are much more productive than earlier blasts. Cooler heads prevailed.

Someone else asked why the NFL doesn't do something. I believe I read 71% of NFL players are non -white. 68% black Imagine the public relations nightmare this would become if the NFL punished them for noncompliance. THe NFL would appear to be anti black. That is obviously not true but perception if reality. These individuals want to protest against a Nation that has a black president. The Federal govt isn't oppressing them. It is a localized issue.
I am all for equality and accountability. Too much finger pointing. If you were to ask them what they were protesting against I have a feeling that there would be very ltitle substance to the reasoning. I don't profess that I know all the relevant information or statistics to back a compelling argument but I think I would win in a debate.


By the way. In my house we stand up for the National Anthem and are respectful. Just did it tonight while watching the Vin Scully pregame. My boys aged 3 and 4 stand next to me and butcher the lyrics of the National Anthem (bless their hearts) God Bless America
