Various NFL players are reportedly discussing different forms of protesting in response to a new policy requiring players to stand for the national anthem.

“I talked to a former NFL player yesterday who has said that players are already talking about other ways in which they can protest," NBC's Craig Melvin said on "Today" on Thursday.

Melvin did not specify which players he spoke to, or what other forms of protesting they were considering.

Need the "Not This ***t Again" meme. The protest was dying down but Goodell decided to pour gasoline on the dying embers.

March on down to the police station, city hall or capitol on your day off. Like normal citizens would do.

They can hate whites and hate America all they want. I won’t be watching football. Let their fellow haters pay their salaries.

This is sooooo childish!

They thought last year was bad from a financial standpoint, just wait until this year.

What a bunch of crybabies!

"NFL players reportedly already discussing new forms of protest after national anthem rule"

Self-immolation can be an effective attention-getter.

“NFL players reportedly already discussing new forms of protest after national anthem rule”

I have not watched pro football in two years and already I'm discussing new ways to lower my viewing by 50% during the coming season.

If anyone is watching pro football but would like to tell friends they are not, purchase a football viewing credit from me. Kind of like a carbon credit. Just send me money and watch guilt-free.

Whatever. I think they should declare the stadium on game day a sanctuary safe space from anything social justice or any other kind of free speech protests.

Illiterate people making one million dollars per year is the new "oppression". Why it's Slavery Part 2!

I sure wish we could get some Mexicans to take their jobs.

I guess they haven’t figured out yet that Big Media will simply abandon SHOWING the anthem and instead show players in the clubhouse disrespecting America.

There’s always reading, exercise, volunteering, and hobbies.

if I had any investment at stake in NFL, I would FIRE all of these crazy players. You cannot make any money INSULTING your customers, fans.
NFL teams are headed straight into bankruptcy.

THEN, at least, we will see new teams ... with good players and owners who don’t allow their workers to destroy their businesses.

ps: Congress is CO-CONSPIRATOR, enabler for all this anti-American stupid BS. Congress needs to repeal its laws granting NFL monopoly status and unfair subsidy, tax advantages. Once the football teams are required to compete for our business, financial support.. they will start being responsive to our concerns, wishes. Monopolies know they can sheet on their customers, fans. This is demoralizing, and SO very un-American too! Wake up, Congress, stop this krap!
