Now surely this is just fine, and anyone that supports the folks currently kneeling, will also support any fans that do what this gent did. It doesn't matter that the protester doesn't "own" the joint, as current protesters surely don't own the joint when they protest. It matters not if what being proposed is offensive to others or not. And this protest - would be in protest of a minimum of 54+ million dead babies. Now you WILL see folks that will claim protesting such shouldn't be welcome. They will argue against, even though one is protesting treatment and/or some killings, and the other is protesting FIFTY FOUR + MILLION DEATHS and COUNTING.

Protester during national anthem in Dallas urges fans to 'Vote Republican'

Once again, a protester took action during the national anthem prior to an NFL game, speaking out on a cause important to them and using the anthem and an NFL game as a platform for their views. But this time, the protester wasn’t a player, and he wasn’t speaking out against racial inequality.

During Sunday’s national anthem, an as-yet-unidentified protester raised a “Stop Abortion / Vote Republican” sign and walked across the roof of AT&T Stadium’s field suites just prior to the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

According to observers on the scene, the protester carried a sign with “Stop Abortion” on one side, and “Vote Republican” on the other. Security officials guided the man back toward the seats, and it did not appear he was asked to leave, according to local reports.

Player protests during the national anthem, which dominated the league most of last season, have dwindled to almost nothing, with most players choosing to focus their efforts on more productive, less provocative efforts. The protests — which were always silent, without signs or movement — drew sharp condemnation from a significant slice of America for being disrespectful, even unpatriotic.

Of course, just like the players, the unnamed protester has the freedom to say whatever he wishes during the anthem (though he did trespass while doing so). However, a recent poll noted that 86 percent of Republicans were against the NFL players’ protests; it’ll be interesting to see if they’re equally as irate about a protest supporting Republican causes.

No sale. I have the exact same opinion of this protester as I have of players protesting. In BOTH cases, rendering Honors to the National anthem and/or ensign is being disrespected. Cause irrelevant. Protest to your heart's content in an appropriate forum.

If I turn on a football game, a football game is what I expect to see. At the highwayman's rate we pay to watch the crap to begin with, take your issue to your Congresscritter. Commercials are bad enough -- worse than ever last time I watched.

Completely fine.
