Honoring the bravery of officers and firemen, too controversial.

Protesting the national anthem, praiseworthy.

The NFL needs to die a quick but brutal death.

What about face paint, a blue line on each cheek or a temporary tattoo, blue line on each arm. Those would not be affixed to any part of the uniform. There are ways to get around the rules....

Actually soccer is a much more fluid game than football whereas players don’t take 27 seconds of rest for every 8 seconds of action.

They wanted to wear a decal on their helmets, back in August, honoring the fallen cops killed in Dallas. The NFL said no.

With the league standing behind the hoodlums everyone will probably get a bonus. Except for that lone renegade Army Ranger that broke out and had the gall to show proper respect.

The owners have a real problem. If the kneelers are consistently better players, the stand ups may not win. Possibility.

How about no more fly overs or any military participation for NFL. They don’t even have to play the anthem.
