The irony of the NFL owners’ action is that *they have now hyper-politicized the anthem, for not just every black player and ally, but every potential anthem singer or Super Bowl halftime performer. That few minutes before a game will now look like a forced nationalistic display.

I think the fact that the NFL has now decided to penalize or silence players who kneel is a perfect example of why they were kneeling to begin with.

It's really great when the NFL cares more about peaceful protest than the problem of domestic violence and sexual assault with its players.

It's really great when the NFL cares more about peaceful protest than the link between playing football and serious brain injury.

Great.

Is the nfl creating a policy around red hats in lockers or is it only certain types of political expression from certain people that warrant policing

💡Remember, this entire series of events w/ the NFL has unfolded as result of one Black athlete making a personal decision not to stand for the anthem b/c he feels the nation is not living up to its claims of freedom & democracy. 2/

Today’s decision by the NFL is a win for racist bigots like you and Donald Trump. To suppress the players right to peacefully protest is unAmerican and it’s shameful that you are logging such a reprehensible, racist decision. You disgust me!

Respecting America, today the NFL did something that adds to an American legacy that stretches all the way back to our founding:

Reaching a compromise that is beneficial to everybody but black people.

The new anthem policy states that players "shall stand and show respect for the flag and anthem." Issue with this: it implies that those that kneeled weren't respecting the flag. Furthering the false idea that the protests were about the flag. The protests are about injustice.

White supremacy is a helluvah drug. Straight brainwashing. Look how easily they convinced a large portion of the white population that:
1) the anthem should play every game
2) the anthem is about “troops”
3) kneeling is disrespecting “troops”
4) NFL policy should punish kneeling

The NFL plantation owners passed a policy to make patriotism mandatory for their property. Either pay deference to symbol of white nationalism - which is what the anthem is, or pay a price. This is the answer to the "win" in Georgia and the message couldn't be clearer.

1. Coercing patriotism is unamerican.

2. One wonders what the NFL's policy will be when its players, while standing, nevertheless protest during the anthem.

3. One might argue that the best way to show respect for a nation's symbols is by exercising rights the nation bestows. https://t.co/uGDHbmwb9E

#ImWithKap: Black Twitter Blasts NFL For New National Anthem Policy

[caption id="attachment_2960411" align="alignleft" width="879"] Source: Michael Zagaris / Getty[/caption] On Wednesday (May 23) to much dismay, the NFL issued a new policy regarding athletes kneeling during the National Anthem. Teams with players who don’t stand during the anthem will be fined. Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote, “We want people to be respectful of the national anthem. We want people to stand — that’s all personnel — and make sure they treat this moment in a respectful fashion. That’s something we think we owe. [But] we were also very sensitive to give players choices.” Sigh. Clearly, folks took to Twitter to blast the NFL for violating these players’ right to protest.
