“Five NFL Teams Enforce ‘No Kneeling’ Policy for 2023-24 Season”
Ahead of the 2023-24 regular season, five NFL teams have adopted a strict “no kneeling” rule. This decision follows the league’s release of teams from contractual obligations concerning 1st Amendment rights within private workplaces.
“The league clarified that we aren’t obligated to provide a 1st Amendment venue since we’re not the federal government,” stated St. Louis Rams General Manager Joe Barron. “We have the authority to regulate our own locker rooms and establish our own rules.”
Several players have already been placed on waivers for expressing their intention to kneel. “While it’s not as widespread as it once was, the league still feels the impact,” Barron remarked.
More teams are expected to join this stance, as they believe that demonstrating respect for troops outweighs the benefits of peaceful protest.
Joining the Rams in enforcing this policy are the former Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Colts, the Houston Oilers, and the Oakland Raiders. Barron added, “More teams are likely to follow suit once they relocate from their current cities.”
The Chicago Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers are speculated to be next in adopting similar policies, according to the unusual logic presented in this article. Additionally, there’s speculation about the Jacksonville Jaguars potentially relocating to London, which would further complicate matters, particularly if they also face pressure from individuals influenced by social media misinformation.
The NFL has stated its intention to refrain from involvement in these matters. God Bless America.
