First the Seattle Seahawks consider sitting out the playing of the Star Spangled Banner (the entire team, mind you).
Then the Broncos’ Brandon Marshall became the latest player to “take a knee” during the national anthem at the first regular season game:

Enough is enough. It’s time to stop this nonsense before it spreads like stupid at a Hillary rally.

We will have to see what kind of traction such a “boycott” will have, but rest assured, any boycott – and subsequent drop in television ratings, is in direct proportion to the increasing visibility any “protest” of the National Anthem gets.
