Washington’s Adrian Peterson, one of the greatest running backs in NFL history, seemed to speak for a majority of players when he said they plan to kneel during the national anthem this season.
Peterson said he plans to take a knee this season and he’s not the only one.


quote:

Adrian Peterson @AdrianPeterson said he plans to kneel during the anthem: 'Years ago, seeing (Colin) Kaepernick taking a knee, now we're all ready to take a knee together going into this season without a doubt.' Asked if he will take a knee: 'Without a doubt, without a doubt'

quote:

Asked about potential fallout from taking a knee, all time great @AdrianPeterson says with conviction: "Are they going to try to punish us all? If not playing football is going to help us save lives and change things then that's just what it has to be." #NFL

There will be no anthem if the NFL is smart

NFL would avoid so many headaches if they did it this way.

But then the media would be upset they were robbing players of their protest opportunity.

I can’t, for the life of me, understand how a group of males play the victim card so hard. I guess they just like the attention they are getting.

You’ve been having an absolute meltdown. Are you ok. Do you need to be awarded some virtue signaling points?

Honestly I think the gauntlet has been thrown and the league will fall on every sword the NFLPA presents.

The NFL has 3 choices:

1. Play the National Anthem while the players are in the locker room & the players complain they are not able to do their photo op of kneeling. Madness ensues.

2. Do not play the National Anthem at all & the players complain they are not able to do their photo op of kneeling. Madness ensues.

3. Play the National Anthem & everyone has to witness the visual of all the players(and most likely-entire organizations on the sideline) kneeling. Madness ensues.

Your call Roger. Good luck with this you worthless bastard.

Whoever would have thought standing for the anthem would be so edgy

I think they should do like college and leave the players in the locker room

Stop projecting. I have laughed at you guys melting in thread after thread.

You guys need to get a grip and stop crying about every little thing.
