Just wish half of you all would grow up and just do the small part that makes other people who DON'T live in America love the way we can come together just to do small act.

Whoever said there was anything wrong with celebrating Christmas? What's wrong with not celebrating Christmas or simply choosing to say, "Happy Holidays?" What's wrong with Starbucks choosing not to write "Merry Christmas" on their cups?

Standing for the anthem is also specified in the NFL rules.
No it isn't.
The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.

First off, where is your link? Second off, I bolded a few words that you should look up in a dictionary.

Again, it is for oppression of blacks, right? Non-equal treatment? So why so many blacks in sports making millions if they are oppressed.

Other nations laugh at us because 1) we elected Donald Trump, 2) we think that a flag is more important than people.
Exactly. Revere the flag but cut social programs and maintain the largest prison population in the world.

LOL, you missed the part where the MUST be on the sideline, so we can say that the players broke the rules regardless of standing.
As for "should", it's clearly not a suggestion.
You stepped in it like Snopes (is that your oracle)... they had to backtrack after claiming there were no rules too, LOL. Took them an hour to shout false and then they crawled back into their shells.
