Agreed, if the mediA just shows the flag and singer the issue goes away.
Also, don't have the players out there. They didn't use to be until the military paid the league to have them out there. If they stay out there, eventually the team will take action as the league would just keep increasing the fine until it hurts. |

My theory.
The NFL loves the anthem protest, because controversy creates cash. They announced the new rule after the draft and before camp. They found a way to stay in the news during a dead period. They could’ve squashed this whole thing before it started if they were concerned with it. The first time Kaep sat through the anthem, they could’ve settled it then. They could’ve instructed their announcers, film crew, pregame shows, etc to not talk about it at all. Don’t give it any press and it will go away eventually. I would assume the NFL has decent leverage with ESPN as well. They probably could’ve made sure ESPN didn’t cover it either. In the end, anthem protests won’t kill the NFL. CTE possibly will unless there is some sort of major breakthrough to prevent/treat it. Anything that distracts from that helps. I’ll take off my tinfoil hat now. |

Fine the first time, and then suspensions without pay will start. I'm guessing his qualms about America will subside after that.

And this is why this shit continues. Let it go. Don't report it. Don't talk about it. Don't show it on TV. It'll fade away.

The news networks are trying to piss you off, it makes you tune in and get ratings.

At this point I'd imagine his "protest" has more to do with the league telling him what he can or can't do versus any social commentary.

BFD.
Just don't televise the anthem this year. Or, when the anthem is playing keep the camera focused on the stadium flag.
