Figured I'd put this here. I didn't want to start a shiny new thread (every other one is locked) and I damn sure didn't want to post it JN; because I love that it is free from politics. But it looks like the Bengals are going to court:

We go before an arbitrator on Tuesday.

Quote:The complaint against the Bengals, which was filed on behalf of Reid by the NFL Players Association, has been fast-tracked at Reid’s request. A significant issue at hand, sources have told Yahoo Sports, is whether the Bengals violated a portion of the collective-bargaining agreement by negotiating in bad faith. More specifically, whether the Bengals invited Reid for a free-agent visit and discussed his signing despite knowing the team had no intention of offering a contract if Reid intended to continue kneeling during the national anthem. Reid knelt during the anthem during the 2017 season as a form of protest against social injustice.
