NFL just recently made a
new policy stating that teams will be fined for having their players kneel
during the national anthem. Kneeling during the national anthem was a protest
against police brutality and racial inequality, the movement was created by
former quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Many players followed along with the
protest but faced a huge backlash because people that it was disrespect to
other areas such as, veterans sacrifices, the flag, and the whole U.S. Now the NFL
is putting an end to the protest because it “created a false perception among
many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic." (NBC News). However, some
players still plan to protest and are willing to pay the fines including owners
words. [1 image, 1 link, 1 quote, 124 words]
