No it wasn’t.

I expect teams to try and discourage booing by having these “tributes” right before the anthem is played. This will get much uglier before the player stop protesting.
I understood what happened and now I understand that Coach Payton is an idiot.
The teams have brought this “misunderstanding” on themselves. No sympathy at all here.
Take a look at what this black police officer thinks about it.

Coach Payton’s excuse is just like his teams defense. Full of holes like Swiss cheese.
I think Payton is the one with the misunderstanding.
somewhere I read some one suggested that police depts refuse to provide cops to NFL games. This would forced the teams/league to pay for private security.
I do not understand either why Pres Trump allows military display at NFL games.
The officer that was killed was Black. So any white that kneeled is obviously a white racist.
Why are the fans booing? If they really gave a damn, they wouldn’t be at the game supporting these losers! I have no sympathy. The players are essentially giving them the finger, and they still go to the games and pay those tickets!

What?! Now, they’ve taken to unraveling the flag?
Is it too much to ask that “journalists” know the meanings of the words they use?

They just don’t get it.
The fans are not the least bit interested in the political opinions of the pampered, overpaid players, most of whom wouldn’t waste a minute of their free time advocating for any cause, real or imagined.
Any kneeling, raised fists, locked arms, or any other obvious display of protest, regardless of whether it is done before, during, or after the game will be perceived as insulting to the nation & fans. The longer they do it, the more fans they will lose.
