Colin Kaepernick’s movement kneeling during the National Anthem has changed the NFL forever.
Now the NFL is making sure that they will NEVER have another Colin Kaepernick problem again. Read on…
Celebes, as of today, the NFLPA have implemented a new policy that restricts players to their locker rooms if they don’t want to stand.
If a player wants to kneel, they can no longer make a statement against America’s wrongs against people of color.
The NFLPA has decided to sweep it under the carpet so to speak.
Here is the new rule, which banishes freedom of speech for NFL players.
- NFL players can thank the man screwing up America, President Trump for escalating last seasons kneeling into a national debate. NFL team owners wanted to defuse the problem so they’ve come up with this new adopted ruling:
- Players will be allowed to stay in the locker room during the national anthem, but their teams will be fined by the league if they go onto the field and kneel.
- Players had previously been required to be on the field for the anthem.
Commissioner Roger Goodell has ruled in favor of fining teams if their players are on the field or sidelines not “showing respect for the flag and the anthem.” #SMH
At least one owner was man enough not to fall victim to President Trump conformist banter; Jed York of the 49ers, said his team abstained in the vote.
Goodell said in a statement:
It was unfortunate that on-field protests created a false perception among many that thousands of N.F.L. players were unpatriotic. This is not and was never the case.
What is most annoying is Trump violates the First Amendment everyday on social media and we don’t see a policy to shut him up? And they don’t say the NFLPA’s new policy is not a racist act? Hello RACISM welcome to 2018!
The tweet that started the debate:
There is NOTHING disrespectful about kneeling on something you don’t believe in. Today, the NFLPA showed their True Colors #Racism
