MM, I agree with you.
But I'm sure at this point it is greed driving the owners. I think they are afraid of retribution from BLM, Al Sharpton, and any other outspoken Black rights lobbying group, not to mention the large number of black fans. As I understand, most of the contracts say that they "should" stand for the national anthem. Until they or the NFL makes a rule that all players WILL stand, there isn't much to do. And likely that won't stop them from putting a fist in the air. I see the guy that started all this is without a team, and he says that he will stand for the National Anthem - because he is afraid that he will never play NFL football again. Really, the players are such a lot of sheep.
