This might be a valid point, but comparing some misfit fifth-rate quarterback sitting during the national anthem to a formal request to alter a team’s uniform isn’t really a good comparison.

The problem I see with allowing the altering of the uniforms is that it sets a precedent, and there might be other “sides” of the issue. What if a team wanted to put Black Lives Matter emblems on their uniforms? What if a team decided some gang symbol would be good to represent it?

The use of "In Memoriam" decals is not all that unusual in the NFL. I'm sure that there have been any number of them allowed over the years. Here's just one:

Pittsburgh Steelers helmets will include a decal this season to honor the memory of coaching great Chuck Noll.

The black decal will feature Noll's "CHN" initials in Steelers gold. Noll, the only coach to win four Super Bowls, passed away in June at the age of 82.

"We wanted to do something," Steelers President Art Rooney II said, according to the team's official site, "and after we talked about it internally that seemed to be the most appropriate thing we could do. The team will wear it the whole season."
