“... efforts to accommodate ... their players who feel compelled to protest...”
What other organizations move Heaven and earth to “accommodate” unruly and disruptive employees? You accommodate decent, cooperative employees, and you discipline or terminate the trouble makers.
What kind of wimps are TPTB in the NFL? A case of the tail wagging the dog.
My gosh...it’s NOT complicated!
Stand for the flag and anthem...Put your hand over your heart
Sing
Play Ball!
Resistors resisting.
It’s utter nonsense!
