The NFL allows Kaepernick to disrespect America and say we should not show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. The NFL said the media support Kaepernick and his position. The same NFL denied the Cowboys the right to honor fallen policemen.
The idea was conceived by veteran tight end Jason Witten.
The "Arm in Arm" design honored the fallen officers.
Dspite that strong support from one of the league's most powerful franchises, the NFL has struck down the request for the team to wear the decal during the regular season or its four preseason games. The Dallas organization petitioned to use the decal, but it was denied.
"Everyone has to be uniform with the league and the other 31 teams," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told the Dallas Morning News. "We respect their decision."
What is up with Goodell and the NFL?
Because one bomb scare incident or one Muslim terrorist incident successfully carried out would destroy the NFL and all professional sports business models and profit projections within about two weeks.
The entire business model would be destroyed.
That is why , In answer to the question posited by the headline of the article.
It’s about what you can control and what you can’t control. You can control the uniforms and keep them from putting anything on them that draws the league into controversy. You can’t control their minds and how they want to handle various parts of the pre-game. They could make him stand, but there’s so many other ways to protest even while standing (no hand on the heart, look away, spit) they just can’t force that issue. The best they could pull is to force him to act respectful then in the post game interview he’ll talk about how the league forced him. So they’re going to let him be dumb, knowing he isn’t actually any good and he’ll probably be out of the league soon.
Think of it:

Feel free to spread this to other websites.
one of the few ####ing things i look forward to and now I cant even stomach watching it.
What with the budweiser faggot marriage and multi gender commercials, the CONSTANT left wing talk from some announcers, the “rollerball” like ownership by corporations.
####.
There’s only one answer to that question: Because the NFL is staffed by assh*les.
Too many pigskin addicts.
One of the real problems with sports is that they think they should have a say in politics. To order players to make a statement favoring a political stand is no different than unions using dues to fund candidates. Not all players believe in what the Dallas owners politics are and that’s truly their rights. So they have just as much right to remain silent or openly oppose the ownership in their views. So the ownership shouldn’t display their views at the players expense.
Contrary to popular belief, Arlington actually owns AT&T Stadium. The Dallas Cowboys owner pays rent, $2 million a year since 2009, which is when the stadium opened. And he will as long as the team plays there. But if the owners, the city of Arlington, would like to build a wall or a statue to commemorate fallen police or soldiers, that is their right.

The National Nigball League depends on leftwing cities for existance
If he gets cut were all racist
Because the NFL has gone leftist. Stop watching the NFL.
Bread and circus.
A thief in the night.
Mile markers that won’t be remembered in the afterlife.
Self entitled overpaid talent with a false victim complex actually.
Good question. I'd love to hear their answer.
Charlie Goodell them immediately stopped on a dime ideologically and made a 180 degree turn to the hard left as a Senator. Spiro Agnew, with Nixon's blessing, went to New York State, labeled Charlie Goodell as "the Christine Jorgensen (a briefly infamous "transgender" who had eagerly submitted to chopadickoffame surgery in Scandanavia) of the Republican Party, endorsed Conservative Party Senate nominee James Lane Buckley (Bill's elder brother) and totally upset NY politics in the process.
Charlie's boy Roger is a quisling just like his daddy. Conservatives should have walked away from the NFL unless and until Goodell was replaced by a principled American. For a decade or two, I have comfortably avoided any perceived compulsion to waste time on the NFL.
you’re not kidding.
Carl and pop (or is it the other way around?) were/are two ###holes.
Caspar Kaepernick: May an ocean of pig blood be upon him and his!
Colon is a racist ass and so are you for the nigball comment.
This is done to appease that part of black community who were angrier that the black terrorist was killed rather than the cops. Many, like BLM, were happy that the cops were killed. The Left is giving its tacit approval.
I enjoy college football myself.
