There’s been a lot of questions on if NFL will do anything about the players kneeling during the national anthem. They’ve seen a ratings hit from hardline conservatives over it disrespecting the military, and have also been condemned from some progressives for Kaepernick appearing to be blackballed over being the figure head of the protest that has gone on even in his absences

NFL owners agreed unanimously to fine the teams (not players directly) over conduct violations if any player kneels during the national anthem. Anyone wishing to not stand, will be allowed to stay in the lockerrrom. A 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty was debated but scrapped

NFL is in a damned if they do, and damned if they don’t situation with this one. I’m pretty sure it’s a simply matter of money being the deciding factor. They’ve got more rednecks watching football than SJWs so they cater to that crowd

To those actually arguing the points that are open to interpretation and not stuck in the partisan rut, it has been a debate of freedom of speech vs doing your job when you’re on company time and representatives of your employer

Let’s hear it war room. And for once, I am actually curious to hear @El anciano thoughts and won’t bash his post

If the players kneeling truly believe in what they're protesting they'll step away from the NFL if that's what it takes.

There is a part of me that would love to see some people boycotting NFL for dishing out fines for people kneeling during the anthem, and another group boycotting for NFL allowing protesters to stay in the locker room and not show proper respect to the flag lol

They have every right to do so imo as it is something that hurt their revenue. The players are employees so this can be filed under code of conduct.

Oh I hope they do, but they won't. The only one who went in too deep with it was Colin and he made enough money to do that.

Reminds me, I know someone on this forum who likes to kneel for other dudes @Coconut Joe

I'm more concerned with the new helmet rule being applied to offensive and defensive lineman, as well as what they just did to kickoffs.

Fuck the national anthem, their pussifying the sport.
