They will never admit they were wrong — ever. They’ll try to come up with BS band-aids like this “locked arms” thing, but they’ll never outright penalize anyone for not standing for the anthem. They’ll pull the national anthem first.
I would accept locking arms, hand over heart singing the national anthem. They can show their team unity while clearly showing respect for the flag and national anthem.
Well I say, “If they take a knee, just give’em the FINGER!!”
