So - the owners of N.F.L. teams caved to the Orange Man and agreed to a new policy for player conduct during the playing of the national anthem.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said that owners voted to fine teams if their players do not stand during the national anthem - if they are on the field or sidelines. If players don' t want to stand, they can stay in the locker room until the anthem ends.
Gosh, I thought this was still a free country and you could voice your disapproval in your own way/style (if you didn't hurt anyone in doing so.)
******Remember the song - Where have all the flowers gone.....? My question: Where have all the facts and truths gone?
Orange Trumpfman and his foxy tv network rush to misinform. Unruly Giuly is their newest mouthpiece. No matter if their "news" items stretch credulity (also known as LIES). Repeat, repeat the garbage and finally enough people will believe. (Orange Trumpfman learned this from his deceased lawyer friend Roy Cohn, defender of Joe McCarthy and only lawyer willing to defend Trumpfman in his early days of chiseling in NYC ) Interesting, Orange Trumpfman dumped him as soon as he found out he (Cohn) had AIDS!

Can the first amendment survive until we get a Congress with enough guts to place the country before politics? I hear talk about Democrats being elected this fall but I worry about their infighting. (They need a Beto O'Rourke type candidate.)
