Which is what caused the controversy and loss of money to NFL
don't think the kneeling caused that... Pretty sure Kaepernick could have still had his beliefs, stood for every anthem like everyone else, and y'all still would be pissed at him

You apparently have not watched many NFL games

I have.

They rarely ever show the Anthem on TV, but for Pro-Bowl and Super Bowl. The game after Kaepernick and it became "must show" TV.

Jets CEO:

quote:

“I do not like imposing any club-specific rules,” Johnson said, via Bob Glauber of Newsday. “If somebody [on the Jets] takes a knee, that fine will be borne by the organization, by me, not the players. I never want to put restrictions on the speech of our players. Do I prefer that they stand? Of course. But I understand if they felt the need to protest.


Sounds like those hoping not to see kneeling will be disappointed this season.

Can’t really create a new ban on that without collectively bargaining it

You want a solution...stop showing the national anthem before games. I


Bingo

The networks aired the anthem to grab a few extra eyeballs and thats shameful. Stop showing it, I’m not standing at home.

the whole thing just became ridiculous. Kneeling was all but dead until Trump brought it up out of no where and then the players response was dumb because they started kneeling for reasons that had nothing to do with the original protest

Exactly. I busted out laughing hearing the players attempt to articulate why they were doing it. Kaep, for all the other moronic shite he did, actually managed to put tougher some arguments.

Probably why they aren't fining the players.

Whether you agree with the intent of the protest or not, how people lost their shite over it and all was pretty surreal and they somewhat succeeded in hijacking the protest's intent or engaging in a straw man endeavor.

Can the teams fine the players if the player causes the team to be fined?

Genuinely curious.
