If that happens, I predict yet another change in policy. Either the players will all be required out or all be required in. I predict that this policy ends this virtue signaling horseshite.

I'd take that bet.

Maybe for the first game just to test the waters. When it starts trouble in the locker room they will get their asses out there and stand.

I applaud the NFL for taking this measure, and I applaud them for previously taking cautious and indecisive measures because the NFL had poorly documented the requirements up until now.

The NFL should have made its policy quite clear years ago, but, they failed to be pro-active on this issue until right now.

There will be a few, I'm willing to bet, that take advantage of that language and kneel through the preseason games


the kneeling stops once they get hit in the pocketbook.

What will the league do when whole teams or at least most will choose to stay in the locker room? I don't care if they are on the field but will the league?

They will regret their half measure and wish they would have handled it straight away from the beginning.

The league will care if the fans react negatively about it. This is all about money, the league DGAF what these guys do as long as the money machine keeps rolling.

Won’t happen.
Bottom line: Fans pay the bills.
And the NFL took a huge hit over this nonsense.

Way to react a couple of years too late, NFL
One might assume they are a government agency with how slow they were on this.

What would I complain about??? I told you from the beginning (you weren't listening, shock) I'm watching regardless. No matter which way this went, this was always a non starter for me. But watching people lose their shite over it was good fun.

I already got my Derrius Guice jersey, HTTR & Geaux Tigers!

Holy shite the blue-checked skyscreamers are out in full force on Twitter. All the ESPN, NFLnetwork, WAPO, CNN, daily beast people are melting down about “social injustice” and 30/32 owners being white racists.

Here’s something for the dumbasses that can’t grasp the concept that the NFL is a private organization. The players are free to leave and go sell insurance or play in the CFL and kneel all they want.

Alas if they want the big money, they have to do what the owners say.

I know you’re a race baiting troll, but this is a sound, unemotional decision that was made because of the money the NFL lost
