They should forbid any politicking in the NFL. It’s a business and a brand. It’s not a forum for free speech. I don’t understand why they allow that. You can’t wear a piece of equipment with a logo on it, so why would you be allowed to take a knee during the Anthem.

Sure it’s free country, but freedom has consequences. You express your beliefs, then fine, you’re out of here. there are rules.

This is the gutless wonder Roger Goodell. I doubt that I’ll be watching ten minutes of the game. Couldn’t care less.

Oh, and you know good and well that Lady Gaga will bash Trump whenever she can.

exactly... if an athlete wants to take a position, he/she needs to do it on his/her time, on his/her PERSONAL platform... same with managers, coaches, etc...

and the same with actors... not at awards shows... there was a time when actors made political statements at these awards programs, they were then banned from future appearances...

I agree. It was literally disgusting watching the Rooney Family don the kneepads to service Obama and turn their team into a bolt-on part of his campaign. All to get Granddad an Ambassadorship.

Agree... every biz I’ve ever been with required us to not associate with the business when expressing our opinions. If there was any possibility of confusing the issue then we weren’t supposed to discuss the issue.
