No NFL, you did NOT come up with a “compromise.” I hope the players – all of them, whether they are those who choose to kneel or not – will push back against this. This is America, where our right to express ourselves is sacred.
No, that was not a rule they had. It’s a national custom. I agree that it is a sacred one, but I never felt like kneeling silently was a show of disrespect. They didn’t yell or scream or use foul language; they simply knelt. It is a prayerful position, if anything.
