I personally could care less about the NFL. I actually hate football and the months it's played because that's all you see or hear on TV, social media, etc. So, I was quite happy with the news their numbers were going down last season because of the kneeling. However, I don't agree that forcing players to stand is the way to go. Certainly they can stay in the locker room until afterwards but I believe in freedom of speech. And don't get me wrong, I think it's disrespectful for the players to be kneeling. But I do believe they have the right to kneel.
