The owners passed an anti-kneeling rule in the off season, which would have been a good first step.

The players filed a union grievance and stopped it from taking effect.

There were kneelers the first weekend. I have to presume if they’ve gone this far to defend their ability to do it that it’s still happening and we just aren’t being shown.

Yes, if it is happening we're not seeing it and it's not being reported.

It would be interesting to find out if the NFL had meetings with network news executives and they asked them to downplay the issue.

It would be an easy sell for the NFL because they didn't like Trump controlling the narrative and news outlets would be more than happy to take this issue from Trump.

There were kneelers the first couple weeks of the season.

After that nothing except for a 49’ers cheerleader at the beginning of this month which was widely covered by the media.

No, the media is not covering it up, the players don’t like empty stadiums either.
