Commissioner Goodell praised players for protesting the National Anthem. Why is it okay for the players to disrespect the country but a touchdown celebration is a 15 yard penalty. Uncitizenlike conduct is lauded but unsportsmanlike conduct is a 15 yard penalty. What message is being sent here? End Zone dance is bad. Kneeling during the anthem is good. Eventually, this is going to get out of hand (if it isn't already) and the league will be forced to do something. It would have been so easy to fine or sanction Kaepernick that first time and then football would be just about football, not social justice. The old saying is that you should never talk politics or religion. What do you talk about when politics and religion get involved in every facet of life?
These highly-paid athletes who are almost universally in the top 1% of earners in the US have the temerity to protest the country where that was made possible. Spend some of your fortune to better the lives of people who are actually oppressed rather than this virtue-signaling crap. Disrespecting the flag is disrespecting the country is disrespected Americans. That is not a good tactic for keeping an American audience.
