At least they are consistent and keep doing silly things that keeps the SJW's in the forefront.  What really bothers me though is this idea that the employees of an NFL team have the right to do whatever they want and that this is a 1A issue.  Nothing could be further from the truth and anyone that shares that view has been failed by the education system or slept through their civics class.  Employers have the right to enforce workplace rules and employees who don't like it have the right to work elsewhere.  Any of my employees that do something that alienates our clients and harms our business can expect to be disciplined and if they don't comply, terminated.  There is no doubt that the kneeling has harmed the NFL's business and they have every right to enforce this workplace rule.  

But this is just the beginning of yet another nightmare season for the NFL as the activist players will once again take a knee to show how brave they are in standing up for their rights.  And more fans will be alienated and it will hurt the bottom line once again and then it is rinse and repeat.  Not only that, but they will probably get sued and some activist judge will side with them and this will be all over the press for months.  Goodell could have nipped this in the bud when it first started to happen but he is a gutless wonder and has made a mess of things.
