My take on kneeling through the anthem is the same as ever, regardless of who does it.
Every symbol (flags, crosses, etc) has a different meaning to everyone. It’s your right to have your individual opinion of any symbol and interact with that symbol however you see fit, so long as (a) you’re acting within the confines of the law, (b) you don’t obstruct others from also acting within the confines of the law, and (c) you understand that others may agree or disagree with you. Employers do have some level of control over their employees behaviors regarding symbols and how they interact with them (whether it be honoring the symbol, protesting the symbol, etc). However the employer has a duty to (a) act within the confines of the law, (b) either make the expectations of the employee clear at the time of hiring the employee or have readily available policies and procedures for the employee to reference, and (c) understand that its customers may or may not agree with its stance on these actions. The employer has no obligation to promote or discourage how the employee interacts with any symbol. For instance, I do not believe an employer has to allow an employee to wear a presidential campaign button on the clock in the presence of customers, so long as this was made clear to the employee prior to the event (such as an Employee Dress Code). Long story, short: I have always stood for the anthem, but I’m not going to get in anyone’s way if they choose to kneel. It gets a little murky with an employee protesting anything on the clock, so it’s difficult to say what the NFL can do to stifle a protest on their broadcasts. I figure the League’s lawyers understand that better than any of us. If the League is okay with it, then it’s their risk to take.

Some will view kneeling as equal to flipping off the flyover. A compromise can be found

Off the field, no different than anyone else...express away.
On the field, Mr Hunt needs to set down hard. This bullshit has no way to go but down on Sunday in the stadium. |

The NFL is going to do nothing about this at all right now, in this climate they're going to say they support it, actually they already have.

Even if they don’t support it, there is zero chance they would say so right now. They would gain absolutely nothing from doing so.

When they are putting this out, they will do not a god damn thing. Also if dudes kneeling is a big enough deal to you to not watch Patrick Mahomes, sell your shit, find a new hobby. You can't expect everyone to just think exactly like you do that's life. |

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
I happen to agree with his stance, but even if you don't, that's what's great about this country. you CAN have different opinions than me and we can both have a coke and a smile and shut the f**k up. |

You know what else is RIDICULOUS? Blacks killing other Blacks and as a whole ignoring that as their BIGGEST issue. I guess that one takes self reflection on ones culture, so I can see why you would skip it and go to issue number 2. Both need to be dealt with, but I've yet to see black leaders give a shit about the part that makes up 90% of black murder deaths. but hey w/e

This isn't DC so knock that shit off and spinning what we we're talking about. Everyone has a right to say what they want, you get to deal with the repercussions of what you say though hence that very quick apology. |
