In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Some Americans obsession with patriotism and the flag is so bizarre. I mean it can be bad here too but this is weird.
Considering the fact that our country was founded by people who literally rebelled against their country, protested their country's government, protested their country's flag, etc...
Yep. It's absolutely mind boggling to hear people argue that people shouldn't protest. I've got a portrait of George Washington and a copy of the Declaration of Independence hanging up in my room. Every time I hear students argue against American's protesting, I ask them if they think I should remove those things from the walls.
Utterly stupid. No doubt brought in by owners desperate to gain some favours from the tweeter in chief.
This made me chuckle.
and they all suckIts one of the hardest things to get used when you emigrate here. The school day starts with the National Anthem, every sports event does, and some people fly the flag on their property year round. Very bizarre.
Don’t you dare make fun of Matt Flynn. He’s a legend. That Dallas game was brilliant.
NBA will become America's biggest sport in my lifetime I reckon. NFL is just so backwards. Then again, so are a lot of Americans.
The NBA has a stricter anthem policy than the NFL.
This is ridiculous.
Has there been much player reaction yet? I.e tweets or interviews etc.

It's on the way now. I'd say in 5 years it will be the main sport.
Not seen players reaction but apparently the Jets owner said his players are free to do as they please and any fines will be paid from his own pocket.
So why agree to it in the first place?
Seems like a way of distancing themselves from the players. Gives illusion to public who won’t read all the details that owners are against kneeling and have agreed to a fine structure.
At the same time by covering any fines, can play the card that “it’s all for image but we support you”.
Stupid
The whole thing is just dumb.
Yeah, the NBA and NHL share the same protocol where players and staff are supposed to stand and line up in a dignified posture. What bothers me with the NFL is that no one noticed that Lynch was never standing, it didn't bother anyone because it wasn't part of an official protocol.
By the way:

Absurd policy which is likely to make the situation worse not better.
Some players may react on twitter but most will allow the players association to deal with it. There's an argument to be made that this violates the collective bargaining agreement.
In other news, I just discovered Sean McVay’s missus... damn.
I wonder if it’s a move to satiate Trump, and try to just move on from it. So you come out with a heavy hand that makes a strong statement like this so you can say you did something, and the patriotics calm down. But when it comes to enforcement you do it quietly, like $500 to a charity for vets or something which the owner catches.
Everybody calms down, and we go back to talking about important things like what is a catch, and what the hell is a kickoff now...?

Safe Rosenfels was on fire today.
Britt McHenry attempted to wade in and looked worse than a Tomi Lohren attempt. Sage has dubbed her Sports Tomi.

Just heard on Golic and Wingo that the NFL didn’t even actually hold an official roll call vote on the anthem policy. Just had a show of hands.
McHenry just cannot help but to make an ass of herself
RIP
Very sad to hear of Dwight Clark’s death.
That 49ers squad from the 80’s remains my favourite NFL team.
Bad day.

RIP. was before my time but as a 49ers fan, he'll always be a legend.
You’ve not lived mate unless you’ve waved a little Union Jack at a royal wedding!
Wtf? Was Edelman juicing while recovering from injury?
Why, is he 300lbs now?
Love that they hand out 4 game bans
Just announced that he got busted for PEDs and is suspended for 4 games which he’s appealing. He tore his ACL last year so makes it kinda strange. Was he juicing sitting on his couch while recovering from injury?
No Amendola. No Cooks and now no Edelman. Go Pats!
Recovery is one of the periods where PED use is most beneficial (and common).
Fear not. Braxton Berrios will make Pats fans forget about all of them.
He wasn't sitting on the couch, he was training hard in a protected environment.
Also time for Phillip Dorset to finally step up.
Oh dear
TO just ran a 4.44 40-yard dash. Would love to see a character like him back in the league but doubt anyone will take a chance with him.
