The Athletes not Standing for the National Anthem thread

It's sprinkled throughout other threads, but I have't seen anything dedicated to it. It could be politics, but I think it's more social issues and current events. If there is another thread somewhere I missed, delete this one.

Things to say: If the NFLPA had any strength at all, they would have called for a full boycott of the national anthem by the players, out of protest of the attack by the President (calling them sons of bitches). Colin Kaepernick was a player, and deserved support by the union. They could have all gone the Steelers route and just stayed in the locker room to avoid the issue, but they should be showing support. Of course, the NFLPA is a complete farce, so their actual lack of meaningful response is not surprising.

Speaking of the Steelers, the big thing today is about how one of the Steelers players did go out on the field. The irony is that he is being called courageous for standing alone. Proud American hero standing up for what he believes and not following the crowd. Isn't he a great person?

Oh the irony....
