NFL Kneel Protest Resolved by One Simple Rule.

The Commissioner needs to do something, otherwise this will not end. The solution? Have the whole team in the locker room for the Anthem - just like it is done in college. That way the forum is taken away for these players to "take a stand against police oppression" or "stick it to Donald" or "they said don't kneel, so dammit I'm going to kneel and show them!"
Keep the players in the locker room. shite is solved. Everyone can move on and we can just get back to football. I am sick of this topic and the media/ESPN make it worse every day, including our President - if you can call him such.
Good day, gentleman.

Or just let them continue what they are doing 
It's grown men, people need to quit getting so butt raped about it. Most of these players that have been interviewed, even Kaepernick have stated how much they respect the flag and their country. Most of them are trying to get their point across and if it upsets people then it gets people talking. Most of them also donate tons of money and time into helping kids make better choices.
I would never sit for the anthem, ever, at least as long as I"m able to stand. Just like most republican Trump lovers aren't neo-nazi racists, most people who are bringing awareness for minority issues aren't wanting your paycheck to buy themselves beer. It's insane how much a handful of players sitting with their hands over their hearts on a roster of 45 (game day) players can make life long Saints fans turn in their cards.
The awareness they are wanting to bring is bigger than Trump, or the R and D parties. Sure there may be better ways to do it, but it's the choice they made to do it this way. When it comes down to it, I only care about the 4 quarters of football and who wins the game.

they already have a rule that says they must stand and put hand over heart for national anthem, its not voluntary.
they just side with the racists and allow the rule to go unenforced

Go and listen to Interview from Colin after he knelt and come up with a solution for that. period point blank. This has nothing to do with the anthem or military it has to do with civilian Americans who never served their country

The NFL needs to follow their own rule. They have a rule which states players/coaches will stand for the anthem with right hand over heart and left hand holding helmet by side. Violation of this rule is possible fines or suspensions. NFL made a poor decision for NOT enforcing this rule. Had they enforced their own rule, then this discussion never happens.
NFL has rules that forbid players and coaches from talking about bad calls made by officials during a game. The coaches/players that make such a statement will be fined or suspended. The NFL does not seem to care about freedom of speech which is a constitutional right in this country. It is a right, but a business can place certain restrictions on their employees.
The NFL has rules that FORCE players to speak to the media after games. Violation of rule is possible fines or suspension. Marshawn Lynch was fined $100k for not speaking to media after a game in one instance.
The NFL has rules that force speech and forbid speech. Fines or suspensions are handed down if rule is broken.
Yet, the NFL allowed a player to disrespect our country, flag, and all blood shed while defending our country.
I can not support such misguided people.

Whatever the right thing to do is I fully expect the NFL to do the opposite.
