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

    • You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh
    • Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!
    • And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
