The irony here is that the Jets' real owner is a huge GOP donor and would probably hate this, except Trump appointed him ambassador to the UK and he's busy doing that instead of running the team.

I haven't seen a tally on the vote; I think the NFL only requires two-thirds on these things

No, the fine goes to the players if they kneel during the anthem

but they have the option of staying in the locker room

IIRC it was unanimous, with the 49ers being the only team that abstained.

So it wouldn't have mattered in the long run if the 2/3rds thing is true, but still, shows that he doesn't actually care.

I hope every team just waits in the locker room during the anthem like they used to.

College football still does this

If one was a decent human being you wouldn't want your boss to be fined, or pay your fine. So why would somebody make it their mission to accumulate fines that another person has to pay for? It doesn't speak well of their character.


This is an issue worthy of losing money.

It was a unanimous vote with only the 49ers abstaining so

The only thing I can think of is that Godell strongarmed everyone into it

This is what I believe as well. The NFL and owners want to show that they're united so that the players and the player union appear weaker for the next CBA. However there are already some owners that have expressed dissent in some manner for this ruling like York and the Jets owner, not to mention some owners that may have expressed it privately. Basically the owners created for themselves an even bigger problem that could have been avoided if they just did continued with the initiative they started last year to give money to programs for criminal justice reform and the like.

Teams should start playing the anthem at the end of games to keep the other team from taking a knee and running out the clock.

It only triggers conservative snowflakes. They're a very, very vocal minority.

I live in a military town in a Republican state. Most people here don't give a shit about it, but the few who do never shut the fuck up.

Wtf? That sounds like they have a shitty contract if that's allowed, and I'd be surprised if it's legal at all, surely US labour laws aren't that shit.
