what s needed? i do think this is a pretty clear victory for the player s association. in may the nfl announced a new anthem policy that would ban the players the way they have been protesting. they complained about that and said we haven t been consulted on that and what ends up happening is the nfl announces they are not having any policy during the season. that means that players are free to protest the way we saw today in miami and the way others might. this is only the first week of the season. we don t know what is going to happen moving forward. i think it speaks to the nfl trying to figure out what it s supposed to do and how they should best handle this. we saw the nfl being very reactionary and very attempting to try to soothe the fan base, some of which did not like this protest and that riles up the players even more. in reality, we are seeing what could be termed a victory.
injustice has gotten lost along the way. some thought it was protesting the flag, protesting democracy, etc. do you believe that message has been made more clear now that there is less confusion over the motivation behind the kneeling? i think you also have people who are going to see things the way they want to see it. even if you tell them the truth, they will deflect what it is you are trying to talk about. i believe that people are beginning to see about the truth of the movement. it s about the injustice. it happens every day, every hour, every minute. the season starts with no agreement on an anthem policy between the league and the players. there was real complains coming from the player s union that they were not invited to the table the last time the nfl talked about it and entertained a policy change. where does it go from here?

liberty mutual insurance. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. do they think they re doing something smart but not broadcasting the national anthem? that s espn and cbs, folks. president trump slamming espn and cbs for refusing to air the national anthem ahead of football games this year as the nfl set to kickoff their season this week. the new anthem policy in place, the question of course is will player protests hurt nfl ratings? jared max is with us. they hurt them last year for sure. they did. about a 10% ratings drop. but did it hurt the bottom line of the nfl? we look at the deal they did with amazon. that broad in initially an extra $50 million. and got extended to be over $100
