Do NFL players still kneel for the national anthem?

Question

Is this still a problem this season?

Answer 1

Almost nobody kneels this season. I'm not sure that anybody does. I believe a small few still sit or stay in the locker room during the national anthem. It became too controversial for black men to respectfully kneel to save black lives. For the majority of Americans, the symbol of freedom, was more important than black people to have a life, enjoy that freedom.

few are kneeling. last week about 2 knelt.
more are opting to either stay in the locker room during the anthem or protest in other ways (e. g. standing with raised first).

overall the protests are way down though to the point of being a non-issue

They could just stop playing the national anthem before games.

In other sports outside the US the national anthems r only played prior to international games (country v country) and at major finals.

And why do you fallaciously believe that? Do you know why they kneel? Their not kneeling to disrespect the military or our country sir. Those players are kneeling for awareness on the negative treatment American minorities face within their own country. It is sad how most of these opposers focus more on the anthem and their own understanding than the actual American citizens that share and live with them within the same country.
