That is correct and in fact I think they have something in the contract about the Anthem.

and believe it or not, people actually DO appreciate what the men/women serving do. It is not "Camouflage", it truly is pissing people off, and that certainly isn't going to garner any sympathy for their cause.
I don't think the players mean any disrespect towards people who served. It is just that they feel blacks aren't being treated equally.
