NFL Referees Eject 4 NFL Players For Kneeling During National Anthem
In an unprecedented move, four NFL players were ejected from their respective games for taking a knee during the National Anthem. The league, which has been navigating the tumultuous waters of players using their platform to protest social and racial injustices, now finds itself at another crossroads.
The act of kneeling during the National Anthem started in 2016 when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee to protest racial injustice in America. His peaceful demonstration ignited a firestorm of debate, with some supporting his right to protest, while others viewed the act as disrespectful to the flag and the military. Over the years, several players have joined the protest, resulting in a tug-of-war between the league, team owners, and the players.
