They're staying in the locker room during the national anthem. Bunch of wusses, who have neither ballz nor the courage of their convictions.

At a minimum, the various teams' NFLPA representatives should take a knee in solidarity. YMMV. Don't know who the Bengals' player reps are this year, and can't be arsed to go look.

Heh. Hiding in the locker room is apparently against league rules, according to a tweet that referenced NFL policy manuals:

"Note: All games must kick off within ten minutes of the end of visiting team introductions. Both teams must be on the field for national anthems in all games."

Sorry Tomlin. The rules apply to you, too. And nobody's buying your statement that you're not going to play politics. Refusal to take a stand is the essence of playing politics. And how dare you make the decision for someone else.
