Panthers coach Ron Rivera doesn't believe in kneeling during the national anthem having grown up in a military family, but he doesn't interfere with safety Eric Reid's right to kneel. ‘'He's entitle to his opinion but I know what my rights are,'' said Reid, who has no plan to stop his protest against social injustice.

Panthers' Reid: Rivera doesn't have kneeling veto

Panthers safety Eric Reid, who has stated repeatedly he is simply exercising his First Amendment rights when he kneels during the national anthem, says coach Ron Rivera "doesn't have a choice" in not taking issue with the move.

Yeah this is just nonsense to stir a pot.  I don’t think this causes any turmoil in the locker room. Non issue.  I disagree with some personal things people that work for me do but it’s not my role to interfere or waste time being concerned about it as it has no impact on the work being done  

Most adults can manage this without wasting brain cells

 Also, it’s not disrespectful to the military or the flag. 

people keep saying this and they could be right but over 30 of my ex-military friends (USAF and Army mostly) do not watch NFL anymore. And 12 of us use to be in a fantasy football league. So I know they were nfl fans. Plus at the VA I go to this was huge last year. SO maybe on a broad scale it may be looked at that way but my small sample says otherwise. As for me, I don't give a poo either way.  I lived through Carter, Reagan Bush, Clinton, Obama and I'll probably make it through Trump. Politics isn't my thing

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
