Even if he wins this battle, he's losing the war by choosing to fight this one. Everyone is watching him try to micromanage NFL players instead of doing his own job.
It’s sad that the NFL would crater to Special Snowflakes like this.
He just won over a huge swath of the generally apolitical and what remains of working class white Dems. He'll carry PA and WI, etc. by an even wider margin in 2020.
nobody should be compelled to stand for it
His approval ratings seem to differ with you.

Kinda like all those polls in the days before November 8th.
"How DARE you question 538?! He WILL lose!! Polls are accurate, it's science, just like 32 Genders!"
So what is an accurate Approval Rating?
For Americans who vote, not your office coworkers in South America.
So what is an accurate Approval Rating?
And, said the report from Bombthrowers.com, one outfit, the Economist, used 58 percent more Democrats than Republicans in a recent poll on Trump's approval ratings.
"In every poll, Democrat respondents outnumbered Republicans by significant amounts. The Economist poll was the worst. Only 24 percent of respondents (360) were Republicans compared to 38 percent (570) Democrats – which means that 58 percent more Democrats were polled than Republicans, as shown in the %D/R column. On average, in these seven widely recognized national polls, only 29 percent (409 people) of the total 1,383 polled were Republicans, while 37 percent (518) were Democrats. Another way of saying it is that, on average, 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans were polled," wrote James Simpson, an economist, businessman and journalist.
Simpson called the practice "fraud."

errc saysSo post an accurate poll, then
Feel free to put just a bit of effort in and produce it yourself.
Typical Bernie voter, wants everyone else to do the work.
You're right. Those people are free to quit, and go play for another professional league.
For starters, one that doesn't oversample Dems.
We all know nearly every single poll in 2016 was dead wrong or else we'd have the Hag of Benghazi in charge.
Of course. If the facts don't agree with your narrative--FAKE NEWS!!!
When the facts agree with your narrative--they're FACTS, duh!!

Why is this so impossible for you to do?
You just asked yourself, have you provided it yet?
cultural marxism is way more preferrable to economic marxism
An employer cannot demand (compel, impose on) of employees to speak politically. The employees have freedom of expression, including the freedom not to express the opinion of the employer.
NFL owners to consider rule change that would require players to stand for national anthem
ESPN: "Requiring players to stand is like slavery".
I'm almost getting Tired of Winning. Antifa is just Antifascist, NFL is apolitical (LOL!), It wasn't "Both Sides" in Charlottesville, Weinstein (You Report Abuse, We'll Shut Up!), etc.
ESPN: "Requiring players to stand is like slavery".
What a joke that network is.
Imagine JEB!!!! being a doormat on each and every issue.
Y'all know what I think about this already:
If the NFL enacts the proposed rule, the NFL player's union should take the NFL to court, all the way to the supreme court, if necessary. And in SCOTUS, the NFL will loose. An employer cannot demand (compel, impose on) of employees to speak politically. The employees have freedom of expression, including the freedom not to express the opinion of the employer.

They absolutely do not have freedom of expression as far as their jobs w the NFL are concerned. They can say whatever they want, but the NFL can withhold paychecks (fine them) or fire them as they please. The player is free to quit and voice whatever opinion he wants OR he is free to voice his opinion and bear the penalty of the NFL's employment contract.
And, really, this is the type of win you were hoping for when you elected Trump? Forcing people to pay homage to a US flag?
I know you're a nationalist, but come on.
But Google or YouTube censoring is bad, right?
Do you even care about being consistent anymore?

Pssst.... Free Speech means you can mock other's opinions/speech, yes? Where did I mention ESPN ought to be gagged by law?
It's just a failing network that continues to fail.

A league spokesman said that the owners would discuss the potential change during a meeting next week, Dow Jones reported.
In recent seasons, primarily black professional football players have knelt during the national anthem to protest racial inequality in the United States. The protests started after former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick last year began kneeling during the anthem to protest police mistreatment of black Americans.

Wait, how can the NFL do that, don't the players have "freedom of speech"??
.."Earlier Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that tax laws should be changed so that the NFL doesn't get "massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country."
Ahhhh.... money (or lack of) talks where it counts!
