What happens if a football player disrespects the owners, coach, or referee?

I am a soccer referee (youth, high school, adult). Our Florida high school policy dealing with the current fad of kneeling for whatever beef is that our authority, in this instance, begins when the whistle is blown. Kneeling during the National Anthem is an issue for the school's representative, on game day, to deal with. In Florida, any serious dissent, taunting, or abusive language aimed at the referee is dealt with a disqualification. A straight red card has various monetary fines and suspension periods depending on the severity. In these cases, the referee's authority begins when they enter the sports complex and ends when they leave. The rules of the games are enforced during this time. Unfortunately, kneeling or other controversial actions are not part of the game.

If individual actions occur the game negatively affects the game, then the referee must deal with the conflict. If a player puts on a MAGA or AntiFa armband during the game, that player is dealt with for wearing improper uniform items. If a player runs off the field during the game and grabs any flag, even the US Flag, and waves it to bring attention to themselves, it will result in a disqualification. Same punishment if a player lifts their jersey showing an T-shirt with a design on it. There is some discretion on corrective action based on how long this behavior goes on.

The National Anthem is normally not played during youth games.

I am more inclined as to the Why? Why is the Left so set on this current path? These are the 1% and they are somehow ashamed of a system that has allowed them to prosper. Have they stopped playing the game in protest? Have they declined their paycheck from a system that was set up to exclude them? Have they returned their endorsement money? This is the easy play from the cult of identity politics and it is very easy to detect. It is the same as the faux Native Indian Senator living in her multi million dollar mansion extolling and vilifying the horrible state of affairs under a Trump regime while pulling in 300K for a singular college course. We are in the faux outrage period. If anyone should riot or disrespect others it should be the People living government hand to mouth in Chicago with 3 KIA, 30 WIAs this week, or Baltimore, or East St. Louis which is more dangerous than Honduras. SO, the Left is using the NFL as a distraction as their Utopian Blue Cities fail their People.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint It is really a catch 22. On the one hand they cannot tolerate disrespect of the officials, owners, or coaching staff if the team wants to succeed. ON the other hand if they don't have their million dollar whiners, the team cannot succeed. I don't feel any sympathy for the owners or the players. The owners brought it on themselves when they decided that paying millions of dollars to a player for playing a kids game seemed reasonable. As for the players. You are making millions of dollars for playing a game. I don't really care what your opinions are. Shut the hole under your nose, play the game, and leave the politics to the idiots in DC. If you need to make a statement do it on your own time. Shut up, make the plays, and dance for us.
