They have every right to protest whatever they want, but the rules are the rules. Without them, there is chaos. If those 23 49'er players went down the street after the game, set up shop in front of a police station, I am sure the NFL, the owners, and the fans would have their back.

The NFL really needs to enforce it's own rules for the sake of the game. Any business doesn't want to lose customers. Protesting during the anthem offends a lot of people, so why (NFL) take a chance?

I, for one, am happy at least one owner is taking a stance. I really hope the rest of the league follows suit and encourages the players protesting, to protest where the protesting needs to be done, in front of police stations if it's about police brutality, or on the steps on Congress, city halls etc.

Chaos??? That's a little much, don't you think?

I haven't seen any chaos because of the players taking a knee.
