Baseball has an informal code of on-field conduct which has held for 100 years. The NFL doesn't seem to have an enforceable code for anything.

When Odell Beckham caught a TD pass he imitated a dog urinating on a fire hydrant.

When Judge hit his 50th home run , a record for a rookie his teammates had to force him out to wave to the fans. That's baseball do your job go to the dug out.

And how do I feel about Trump's comments concerning kneeling athletes the same way I would about the guy sitting in the high seats who would respond at these Kaepernick absurdities with get the "SOB" off the field
