"NFL owners on Tuesday mulled the possibility of assessing an in-game penalty against teams whose players kneel in protest during the national anthem.
Sports Illustrated reported that NFL owners met in Atlanta and discussed how to handle anthem protests moving forward. One suggestion was to have the home team decide whether both teams would be on the field for "The Star-Spangled Banner," or remain in their respective locker rooms. If the teams chose to come out, a team would be assessed a 15-yard penalty if any of their players protested during the anthem." http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/388870-nfl-weighs-15-yard-penalties-for-kneeling-during-national --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks ...

What if 4 players kneel? Is that a 60 yard penalty?

all it takes is players from both teams to kneel and it's offsetting penalties

Sounds good to me. I still think they (the NFL) were cowardly about the way they handled it. Coaches and owners are scared of the players they hire.

good, this'll make the game more fast paced. Next, they should implement a rule where you can only go for onside kicks instead of the standard kickoff, this'll make the games go to higher points and better challenge basketball.
