Left tackle Duane Brown Ziggy Ansah Jersey , defensive end Branden Jackson and defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson all retreated to the Seahawks locker room for the playing of the national anthem ahead of Thursday’s preseason opener with the Indianapolis Colts.
None of the players remaining on the field – either for Seattle or Indianapolis – appeared to make any statements of protest during the playing of the anthem.
Brown, Jackson and Jefferson all were among a group of Seahawks players that sat for the national anthem throughout last season as a statement of protest for social injustice and police brutality. Seattle’s entire defensive line, along with Brown, routinely sat for the anthem last year.
The NFL instituted a policy for the anthem this season requiring players to stand for the anthem or remain in the locker room for the playing of the anthem. However Michael Roberts Jersey , discussions between the league and the NFL Players’ Association are ongoing over protocol moving forward and the league confirmed that no fines for violations of the policy will be instituted while discussions continue.
If the NFL was hoping to pacify the loudest of the loud with their national anthem “compromise,” it doesn’t appear to be working.
Not only is the President taking a victory lap on cable news, but now other political opportunists are latching onto it to prove how star-spangled awesome they are.
Via Terry McCormick of TitansInsider.com, Tennessee Congresswoman Diane Black made it clear she didn’t think the league went far enough.
Black Logan Cooke Jersey , who is running for governor, previously gave up her Titans season tickets and vowed to boycott the NFL over the anthem protests (even though no Titans took a knee during the anthem last year).
鈥淚 don鈥檛 know that that totally makes me feel better,” Black told the Portland Leader. “That tells me that there are still a number of players that don鈥檛 respect our country.
鈥淚f you stay in the locker room, what does that say? That says that says I don鈥檛 respect that flag and I don鈥檛 respect that anthem. And I鈥檓 not sure I want to give my money to players who are making millions and sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars who don鈥檛 respect our country.鈥?/p>
If that feels like political pandering Jack Doyle Jersey , it probably should. But it also represents the reality the NFL created for itself.
Proponents of players having the right to peacefully protest (a right which the league previously affirmed) are going to continue to believe the league is stifling dissent. People who want to use the anthem as a litmus test of a person’s patriotism will still view anything other than total compliance as a half-measure.
And that’s the tightrope the NFL is going to have to walk, after trying to craft a policy in hopes of offending the fewest people, while truly pleasing few.
