How about we stop encouraging people to do things we don't like only so we can argue about it for years afterwards?  Idiots would not streak on the field if it didn't get them on the jumbotron and players wouldn't sit if ESPN was not putting them on Sportscenter for doing so.  

I wonder how many people here who don't like the players doing this have ever said something to the fans near them who sit, don't remove their hats, or keep talking on their phones during the anthem?  Is it somehow only disrespectful when a player does it?  Why do we only care when someone famous does something and we ignore everyone else?
