Not one player would do this. Not a fricking one. All talk.

CK doesnt not play football because he took a knee. Be doesn't play football because he was a shitty pro QB

Didn’t know AP was still in the league. With his knees kneeling will probably be a necessity.

The same people praising him are the same ones who wanted him out of the league when he beat his kids

Have you washed anybody's feet yet?

If not then you are just a poser

It won’t matter, we will be so starved for sports and distractions by September that they could burn the flag and hang Trump in effigy pregame and we’d still watch.

Indeed. I think half of these cucks would still be wearing jerseys if there was a “frick white people” patch on the front.

For it not being about the anthem/flag the players sure seem hellbent on doing their protest during the anthem.

Create a new anthem for players to kneel during. Run it after the national anthem. Get Trent Reznor to create it.

This will be a way for him to claim he was blackballed out of the league.

Personally I would prefer not to see anyone kneel, but am fully expecting the NFL to keep doing the anthem the same way they have, and have the majority of players kneeling.
this is the best solution.

If kneeling affects the product you see between the lines, then that’s your own problem

It's the clear and right solution. I just dread the drama that will flood this board and media. The NFL will probably take a short term hit in terms of viewers, but it's not going to make a dent. They'll handle it much better this go around.

Really? Is that all it takes. If we all just kneel during the national anthem then we could stop people from dying. Man I never knew it was that easy. I'm certainly down then!

Completely disagree

They would get crucified for removing the anthem right now, just think about how that would look


This is a fun guessing game, and I agree with you. I don't think that the NFL can deny the players chance to kneel en masse during the US National Anthem. To do so would invite controversy.

I think that the NFL is stuck now with going SJW and allowing the players to take a knee with the NFL's approval. Of course it will alienate some fans, but, the NFL's thinking on this is that it will alienate YOUNGER fans if the NFL continues to fight the players on this issue.

The players want to kneel en masse, during the National Anthem on television. The players NEED this "street cred" they'd get by doing this and it's an easy and free way for them to get that street cred.

So, I'm confident that we'll see kneeling en masse.

My guess is that the NFL's view is that they can make up that 10 percent loss of old fans by winning over new fans from the younger demographic.
