NBC’s Craig Melvin: NFL Players Already Planning New Ways to Protest

“This isn’t over,” NBC’s Craig Melvin said of the NFL’s new policy to deal with players who protest the national anthem.

The NFL announced on Wednesday that teams will be fined if their players kneel for the anthem, a form of protest used to object to police brutality and social injustice that has caused a headache for the league. Teams will not be fined if players stay in the locker room for the anthem, but if they come out onto the field, they have to stand.

Melvin noted on the Today show that the MLB and the NHL don’t have anthem rules, but that the NBA “takes it even a step further, the policy is players actually have to stand in a dignified manner during the national anthem.”

“Nonetheless though, the NBA, though players have managed to develop a bit of a reputation for being even more socially aware than a lot of their professional counterparts,” Melvin said.

“But here’s the thing: this isn’t over,” Melvin continued. “I think the league probably thought yesterday that this would be a decision that would put it to rest. I talked to a former NFL player yesterday who said that players are already talking about other ways in which they can protest.”

“So we’ll be talking about this for some time.”

Sources: NFL used polling firm to get public opinion on Colin Kaepernick

ATLANTA – Four months into quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s 2017 free agency and heading into intensified criticism from President Donald Trump over player protests, the NFL used a Washington consulting firm to ask Americans whether Kaepernick should have been signed by a team, according to sources familiar with the league’s research.

The poll was conducted by The Glover Park Group, a consulting firm that was co-founded by then-NFL communications chief Joe Lockhart, sources told Yahoo Sports. The data sought by the NFL included fan attitudes about a few high-profile league concerns, including domestic violence, gambling, player protests and player safety. Sources noted that Kaepernick was the only player singled out in the research for specific opinions, which were then compiled and sent to various league officials, including commissioner Roger Goodell and several other high-ranking executives.

The poll could create a significant point of contention in Kaepernick’s collusion complaint against the NFL, raising the question of why the league conducted opinion research with its fan base about the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback. The existence of polling data on Kaepernick could also raise the question of whether the research went beyond high-ranking NFL executives to ownership groups or other team personnel who could have signed the quarterback.

When asked about Kaepernick’s inclusion in the GPG poll, the NFL declined comment through a spokesperson. Representatives for Kaepernick and the NFLPA both declined immediate comment.

According to sources, the NFL approved research that sought two pieces of information: Whether Americans believed Kaepernick should have been signed by an NFL team; and given that Kaepernick remained a free agent, whether fans believed that was because he refused to stand for the national anthem or due to his on-field performance or other reasons.

The sources said the poll also explored overall attitudes toward the potential disciplining of players who refused to stand for the anthem in protest over racial and social inequalities. That data was then divided into multiple demographics, sources said, including whites, African-Americans and Latinos, Democrats, Republicans and independents, and Baby Boomers, Generation Xers and Millennials.

The sources declined to share specific numbers, but said the poll revealed a deep racial, political and generational division when it came to player protests. Specifically, divisions in which a majority of white NFL fans supported disciplining players for not standing for the anthem versus a majority of the NFL’s African-American and Latino fans who didn’t. The sources also said a majority of Republican NFL fans supported the disciplining of players versus a majority of Democrats who didn’t, and a majority of Baby Boomer NFL fans significantly supported discipline more than both Generation Xers and Millennials.

Days after that memo from Goodell, Kaepernick filed a complaint against the league and owners, accusing them of colluding to keep him from signing with a franchise due to political pressure related to his gameday protests. That complaint has resulted in an ongoing run of discovery and depositions that have included a number of NFL power brokers, including Goodell.

I'm saying tho, it's not only the NFL that these individuals should be boycotting. Add the NBA and MLB, coke, Pepsi and a lot of other companies and products to the list.

Don't be picking and choosing to your liking.
