I do believe your employer has the right to tell you what you can and can't do during the time he is paying you. And they are being paid on Sunday.
Mine used to tell me I had to wear a suit, white shirt and tie every day. They told me what time to arrive and when I could go home. And I am sure if I wanted to march, protest, or do some other personal choice activity I would of had to take time off to do it.
So if the NFL or team manager or owner says to stand during the national anthem then they better stand.
And yes I do agree they are forcing the issue because revenue is down and there loyal fans are going away. But it a business and it has a boss. And if you want to work there then follow his or her direction.
