The NFL Is Reportedly Considering A Total Ban On The National Anthem Protests – Here’s Where The Protesters Would Be Forced To Kneel Next Season
NFL players protest is a national sick joke!! They picked the wrong forum and manner on this issue. The national anthem and flag are honored at sporting events for veterans that served and gave their life for our country. NFL players abuse women and yes there are some bad cops but Disrespecting Country, veterans, and a flag is a dishonor, not a protest!! The right to protest does not make it right!!
About two months President Trump called for football fans to boycott N.F.L. games unless the league fires or suspends players who refuse to stand for the national anthem, saying that players must “stop disrespecting our flag and country.”
Reports indicate that if the protests continue, the NFL will make official rules dictating where and how the protesters can make their political statements. According to The Washington Post, the new rules being considered by team owners and NFL executives will outlaw all protests during the anthem and confine protesters to the locker room if they wish to sit out the anthem.
“I think that if players are still kneeling at the end of the year, then it could very well happen,” one source familiar with the owners’ deliberations told The Washington Post.
The Post notes that implementing a policy preventing players from kneeling for the anthem would “have the support of a significant number of owners” and could be addressed at the March NFL administrative meetings.
While the policy is far from set yet, it seems a natural next step for the league. President Trump, who in-part instigated the mass protests to begin with, tweeted this after the news:
The NFL is now thinking about a new idea – keeping teams in the Locker Room during the National Anthem next season. That’s almost as bad as kneeling! When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart? This issue is killing your league!…..

So keep boycotting. We may not see this year the big dip in ticket sales, but the proof is when you carry out boycotts for the long haul.
