Comment: Couldn't disagree more. The players are being manipulated by leftists (including leftwing media) who couldn't care less about the NFL. Leftist ideology is the root cause of the division and controversy. The players who don't stand for the anthem can kiss my ass.

Why don't you lefties come clean and admit you don't like the United States, you don't like the flag, you don't like the national anthem etc... Quit playing games and trying to make up some convoluted excuse that not standing for the anthem is to protest racism.
