Totally agree - in the locker room if they want to kneel and pray during the national anthem. If they’re in the tunnel, they need to be out of range of the TV cameras who will be looking for them. If a player gets on the field & kneels anyway, they can sit out the game in the locker room, regardless of who they are.
Out of the range of TV cameras? Like hell. The stupid media needs to stop focusing on these bastards. Thousands honor the ritual and are ignored but one or a few other misfits act out and they get the spotlight.
