NASCAR Reportedly Plans to Remove 'National Anthem Conduct' Instructions, and Fans Sound Off
NASCAR is reportedly making a major change in the wake of George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis, as [...]
Why? That is what should be happening! Kneeling for the national anthem is unacceptable and should result in immediate suspension! Any team member. Idc if it’s a driver! Kneeling for the national anthem and flag doesn’t show anything but disrespect towards current/fallen military

prevnextWhat's disturbing is Nascar had to even explain this to Adults on a handout. But its a Shame that Nascar has now hitched its wagon to the Anti Law Enforcement movement.

Did you read it? They are NOT including it. Meaning you could kneel now if you want to, which is how it should be

prevnextWhy not? Look I get the BLM movement and respect it but why does it have to be done during the anthem? Why not right before or right after for 60 seconds or however long it takes to sing the anthem. The TV networks will still show it.

Nascar deserves a round of applause for everything they’ve done the last week or so. Filters out the racists too. Making this sport better one step at a time.

I am so disappointed in @NASCAR! I’m proud of them for taking a stand against racism, but they are going to far about the flag! Next thing we know they’ll turn their back on our military. Shame on y’all @NASCAR!!!

If they allow kneeling, they should allow fans to bring whatever flag they want. If they want equality in terms of free expression, you must allow both sides to participate. They have the right to allow both or ban both but consider the outcome in terms of consistency.

Proud veteran here, i could care less if someone stands or kneels during the anthem. Doesn’t hurt my feelings in any way. I didn’t serve so that you HAD to stand during the anthem, i served so you have the CHOICE to stand or do whatever your heart desires during the anthem
