What challenges should Jerry take on instead? How would he accommplish the challenges? Enlighten us LOL.

Standing for the anthem has zero to do with football. There is no connection between the two.
The NFL does not really care about the troops. They only do it for PR issues.

The NFL has zero to do with football. The NFL is a company, so is about making money. PR thus trumps the game itself.

Ezekiel Elliot is being investigated for claims of domestic violence, and has made other poor choices publicly. Jerry said he's a good guy.
Lo atl standing for the anthem being a real issue.
If one of his star players took a dump on the flag Jerry would support his freedom of expression.
Jones is manipulating the public.

Why do you guys even have the national anthem before every game? What's the point?

No one said it wasn't about tradition. But traditions are socially constructed. Thus, what was the rationale that prompted the NFL to start saying anthem? How is football related to the national anthem?

It's a worldwide sport, hundreds of thousands of people go to games each week and millions watch worldwide. Much like baseball, it's an American pastime. What better venue to express your love of country.

Millions of people go to work every day. There is no better expression of freedom than going to work every day and earning a living. Yet, millions of employees across the country are not saluting the flag.
Let's be real here: the NFL does not give two shits about the military. They do it for public relations because it equals more money. Don't be so naive and believe the NFL does it because they truly love the military. It has zero to do with that.

Ahhh, I see. Because of that it shouldn't be recited? I'll concede that Gooddell is a liberal POS but I guarantee you if stadiums were told by the NFL to quit with the National Anthem I guaranfuckingtee those (all) stadiums would empty then you can kiss the NFL goodbye. As far as teams. If I'm the owner of an NFL team and I'm paying a player $7000wk on a practice squad or $20mil for a season, I fucking OWN that player, no if ands or buts, it's not even a democracy. If I, as an owner tell you to not take a knee to disrespect the country, you do it or lose your job. PERIOD

What does owning the player have anything to do with it? ??? ??? We were discussing the underlying reasons why the NFL and/or coaches make their players stand, which has zero to do with love of country. It just gives off a good appearance.
Should it be recited at the beginning of sporting events ? Why don't millions of people cite it in other venues? In reality, sports have zero to do with the military. There really is zero connection between the two.

Do you know this for a fact? I mean that it just give a off a good appearance. Btw, they do cite it at other venues. Baseball, college sports, high school sports.. even other countries recite their pledge. What's the problem?

I meant sports in general, obviously not just the NFL, which is why I wrote "there is no connection between the NFL and sports."
Nope, I don't know this for a fact; however, given the extreme importance of public relations in sports, there is enough evidence to suggest that reciting the anthem keeps the fans happy,, which equals more money. Any person could see the obvious connection between good PR tactics and revenue.

Happy to read one, feel free to provide me with one. You seem to know so much about them, just get a stepladder and grab one from your desktop.

At this point, it makes no difference. Professional sports leagues have been infected by the ghetto to the point of no return. You have to be a complete moron to spend your money to watch a guy run with a football, or throw a ball into a hoop, when you know damn well these same guys would otherwise be out robbing people.

Watch sports in which over 70% of the athletes are black.
Complain that the athletes aren't patriotic and instead care more about black grievances.

They're not. They're tuning out the NFL and pro sports in general. The Internet has change the game forever. There are simply more options these days. When pro sports became big there were only three networks. So they had a virtual monopoly. That's done. Same goes for Hollywood, another industry in secular decline:

The NFL has a ratings problem. Monday Night Football is down 24% from last year at this time, Sunday Night Football is down 19% and Thursday night is down 18%. We asked readers of The MMQB to share their theories and explanations behind the double-digit losses for prime-time games and the general sense that the league is losing viewers

It's not my place to look at my athletes contracts but since we work with 6 NFLPA agents I can tell you that anything can be added to that contract. if a player violates that contract he can be let go. Standard contracts are 20-25 paragraphs but if a team takes on a high dollar or high risk player you can bet there will restrictions about what that player can and/or cannot do.
Example, if a team signs a $100mil player and that player (just as an example) likes to sky dive and his contract restricts him from sky diving....he ain't sky diving and if he gets caught, his contract could be terminated. Obviously I'm no attorney.
-

If a player has a certain set of rules to abide by (curfew, getting into trouble, etc) the team can fine him. If you're late to a meeting some teams will fine the player $1000 for every minute that player is late, just as another example.

That doesn't mean they are "Owned" by the team. They can choose to violate their contract with consequences.
However, they are not owned, as if they do not have free will to act a certain way, of course with consequences.
-
Again, no one has answered the logical connection between sports and saying the anthem. What do sports have to do with patriotism?

Ok ok, obviously you're taking the context as literally own them like slaves. Jesus. Of course it's their choice and since it's their choice if they want to fuck up and lose millions in the process. It's also to owners discretion whether he wants to give that player another chance.

SF remember that time you trained with George Washington, maybe you can ask him for the getbig collective?
I'm pretty sure the founding fathers established this country for freedom: of religion, politics and sports (specifically American football).
Everyone knows when a touchdown is scored an insurgent dies and/or a pow obtains freedom. This is a large part of the reason for the NFL changing its ruling to favor the offensive side of the ball. More scoring = MORE FREEDOM!!!

FAKE NEWS
Coach you keep this up and you may lose new topic privileges. :/
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/03/texas-governor-posts-fake-news-on-jerry-jones-and-the-national-anthem/
The governor of Texas is praising Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for ordering all Cowboys players to stand for the national anthem, something Jones hasn’t done.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted, “Thank you Jerry Jones” with a link to an article on a website called UConservative.net. That article is headlined, Cowboys Jerry Jones to Players: “Stand For the Anthem or You’re Off the Team”.
But as Politifact notes, Jones didn’t say that. Jones said he supports the flag and the Cowboys as an organization support the flag, but he didn’t say that kneeling for the national anthem would get a player cut.
Frankly, that should be obvious: What Jones cares most about is winning football games, and he’s not going to cut a good player just because he disagrees with that player’s form of protest. The idea that Dak Prescott would get cut if he kneeled for the anthem is preposterous. Jones may want Cowboys players to stand for the anthem, but he’s not going to make that a condition of being a Cowboy.

This is most likely the real reason for Jones statement. He's first and foremost about protecting his investment.
Frankly, I believe it would be a good time for any NFL owner to sell. IMO, The halcyon days are over. And it's much bigger than just Kaepernick.

Sure, but then they are at risk of losing their job.
They're owned (and has to follow the contract) as long as they want the money.
Breaking a contract is bad for your career.

Sports team owners have made their living playing the masses. Placating the public is important. It's interesting what upsets the people.
When it was revealed the NFL charged the military for the halftime "service appreciation/acknowledgment " the public was mad until the money was refunded.
Hiding facts about brain trauma isn't a concern, but realizing the sport is unsafe for Jr is.
The NFL openly talks about expansion into other countries, holds games abroad, in Mexicon and Canada. They use public money to finance stadiums where they can double dip on psl's, parking and concessions. BUT people stop watching because minorities use the anthem to make a political statement.......
That said I agree that the NFL has or is peaking but as long as owning a team is considered a luxury purchase most won't sell.

own
ōn
verb
1.
have (something) as one's own; possess.
Understanding the meaning of words is kind of important in the world. Ownership is one thing, being contractually obligated is something quite different.
Perhaps using the word or words that are correct for the situation would be a good thing.
The NFL does not "possess" people. People are are contracted to perform a service and if the service does not specifically say anything about requiring them to stand or salute the US flag, then you actually can not do anything to them.
I'm pretty sure NFL contracts are iron clad and to be honest, I would love to see someone try to put this into a contract and see what would happen.
It depends how you define "owned."
I do not believe anyone on the is board is capable of redefining the meaning of a word. I recommend a dictionary.
Fuck the NFL.
I think it's just as rigged as wrestling after last years Super Bowl fiasco.
This is the future of sports... Enjoy.
