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

      And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.

      I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

      3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
