    Maybe. Will be interesting to watch how it unfolds.

    Those who don't kneel will be labeled (by some) as being the new bad guys. "Opposed to police reform".

    Another option. Had not thought of that.

    The stadiums could just elect to stop playing the national anthem at events.

    A lot of these white players are going to bend to the social pressure and kneel. Those guys are little $#@!es.

    There's a chance that games will be played in empty stadiums. If that's the case, the games will be seen only on TV. The networks simply won't show the anthem protests.


    Of course that could lead to the players complaining that the networks are selectively censoring their views.

    Nothing will be good enough. Nothing. Forced capitulation.

    Last season for one game the entire Steelers team stayed off the field during the anthem. One of their starting offensive linemen actually apologized to the team because he stood off the field in the team tunnel with his hand over his heart during the playing of the anthem.
