I'm not sure it matters at this point. Public opinion is everything, and unlike last time around, the kneeling gesture has a lot more support than it did in 2017.
There will undoubtedly be people that get upset about it, and I have no doubt that the league wants to keep them invested in watching football. However, the number of people who get upset about them cracking down on protesting is probably a lot more significant at this point, and the kind of pucblicity that would result from suppressing it is not the kind the league wants. It's a tough situation for a business to make, but as I said, public opinion drives it all.
