Here's a question: How many of the people against players for kneeling do themselves fail to remove their hat during the anthem..like you're supposed to at Church. I care about the hats the same way that these folks care about the kneeling... And then, I don't. I might glance at a hat, but it really does not affect my purpose for being at the GAME.
And for that matter, nor do I think the majority of NFL fans really give a frozen NHL Hockey puck whether players kneel or not.
It's really not an issue. I kneel to the Lord Jesus Christ... And the Bishop wears a really cool hat.
If you hate the kneeling, it's probably something else you hate and you're taking it out on the kneeling. NFL players pay a lot of income tax. The Constitution gives them and, us all, rights to do whatever we choose within the law. Its not like they're standing there shouting "f*** y** to the universe. But, FCC Rules aside, they could if they so chose.
The the NFLPA would protest, but we need a 24 game season, so we can avoid having to spend words on this issue and get back to football. At what point would Josh Allen start in such a season??
