    Browns' Baker Mayfield 'Absolutely' Plans to Kneel During National Anthem.....

    Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said on Instagram that he will "absolutely" kneel during the national anthem this season:


    Mayfield added his name to a list of players and coaches who said they will kneel, including Washington running back Adrian Peterson, Chicago Bears safety Jordan Lucas and Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien.


    Kneeling during the anthem has received renewed attention amid worldwide protests against systemic racism and police brutality following the killing of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody on May 25......snip~

    Expect another year of Politicized Football. Eventually the NFL will drive the majority of the US fans away and then base out of Europe.

    Who?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Baker Mayfield certainly has a right as a citizen to kneel during the national anthem. And if his employers permit it then he should be okay with his employment also. (May or may not have an impact on endorsement opportunities...have to wait an see on that one.)

    Be interesting to hear what the criteria/threshold will be for when Mayfield and others plan to return to "standing at attention" for the national anthem. Is kneeling just going to be the new normal? Is there some benchmark that can be met to end this particular protest action??

    Somebody is going to eventually have to ask that question.

    Star isn’t the right word. Still, I imagine this will be a “monkey see, monkey do” thing when they start playing again.

    Hell, I might root for Cleveland this year.

    Yeah, I lost interest in football before the Anti Americans started kneeling about the flag and whining about the National Anthem.
