I"m amused by the whole thing, and have been all along. But the bottom line, for me, is that it’s just an entertainment, and the players are paid performers. So the NFL or the various teams can, and imo should, require their employees to meet reasonable standards of behavior. Whatever “reasonable” is. Were they right to come down so hard on the ones who knelt? I thought not, but I don’t pay their bills… heck, I haven’t even bought one ticket. Are they right, now, to allow such behavior? Sure, if they want to.
