The NFL Commissioner Finally Starts Stepping Up About USA Flag Kneelin'
Ever since Colin Kaepernick kneeled things became so much worst for the fans who honor this greater country. After Kaepernick gets suspended from his team, He started to fire back!, According to FOX News!
FOX News: Many of the posts he shared on Wednesday were aimed at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who addressed the media at the league’s owners meetings in New York. Goodell spoke at length about the national anthem protests, a movement that Kaepernick started last season as a member of the 49ers, saying he wants — but is not mandating — all players to stand for the song, saying he aims to put the number of protesters “at zero.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he believes all players “should” stand for the national anthem — but stopped short of imposing a rule on standing for the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Goodell, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, said it is important for the league and its players to honor and respect “our flag and our country.
Goodell, who has been in New York City with teams owners for their annual fall meeting, defended the athletes who have been taking a knee in protest, saying they are “not doing this to be disrespectful to the flag, but they understand how it’s being interpreted.”
Roger Goodell:
“We want our players to stand. We’re going to continue to encourage them to stand,” he said.
Last week, Goodell sent a memo to NFL executives and club presidents aiming to move past the weeks-long feud between the White House and players. “The current dispute over the national anthem is threatening to erode the unifying power of our game, and is now dividing us, and our players, from many fans across the country,” he wrote last week.
Roger Goodell:
“Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the national anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us.
”On Wednesday, Goodell said the league is working with its players to see how it can continue to support them and how changes can be made in their communities.“They are very clear about and very knowledgeable about [what needs change],” he said
The “take a knee” movement — protesting police brutality and other issues — began when Colin Kaepernick first sat for the anthem during the NFL preseason in early August 2016.
It since has grown to a sizable number of NFL and WNBA players and even spread abroad when a German professional soccer team took a knee during pregame ceremonies in solidarity last Sunday.
Here's what I have to say about this. Again if these players continued to all kneel before or after SB52 to The U.S.N.A. then, all hell will broke up. So I hope not to hear Chapter 30 of The Ani- National Anthem. I'm glad that Kaepernick Idiot is suspended for this,because again I want to avoid Chapter 30 on Television and The Web!!!!!!
