I'd like to see more teams follow suit and get their hijacked platform back. Plenty of time to push your divisive protests on your day off.

I'd like to the whole roster take a knee to challenge that policy.
In your opinion, is this the players platform to push their opinions?
I am fine with players silently kneeling or sitting while the anthem is played.
That doesn't really answer the question.
Are you ok with employees, on the clock, holding silent protests that negatively impact the company?
Would you still be fine with these protests if they were about something you may not agree with? Like stricter immigration laws, a wall, looser gun laws, etc.. ?
I directly answered the question by saying I am fine with it. I would be fine with players supporting the 2nd Amendment or stricter immigration laws by sitting or kneeling during the National Anthem.
You know what, the country would be fine with it to. Just like the country supported the children that protested about the school shootings.(rightful so)
But the reality is because its a bunch of black men its not important.
Its not important when a minorities protest for equal rights.
Its not important when an unarmed black man is gunned down in the streets. People love to ignore those things or talk about the person pass as if that justifies the act.
