You cant stop those animals, though!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What disgusting act . First he threatens them on air while the country is facing adversity like a petty asshole . When it has fuck all to do with his position as president. The president should not be chided citizens for protesting . Now he's pressuring sports leagues into silence . The hallmarks of a fucking tyrant .
Nobel prize my ass . 
Who knows maybe Trump could get some more "patriots " to go out buy expensive jerseys then burn them .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

There's over 7 billion people on the planet. At least 6 billion will probably be dancing in the streets when the WLB bites the dust. In any case it will be the most popular event in human history.

That's forced rituals
I always find it hilarious that the people who don't want sports to be "proselytizing" or " political . Are the same people doing just that . And even funnier that the same people who rant about how government should stay out of business cheer on a guy doing just that .

Well, that is certainly loosely worded.
I wonder if disrespect includes such things as scratching, blowing your nose, drinking, looking away from the flag, waving, motioning, farting, talking, reading your play book, .................
It would be hilarious if viewers start reporting incidents of disrespect.
Like I said, interesting experiment.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

There gonna have to keep adding clauses until they mandate full tooth grins of no less than two inches between upper and bottom lip, shoulders straight, and eyes wide open (but not too open or it gets the leeches!).
