New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch has taken a stance in the NFL’s continuing debate about protests during the traditional pregame playing of the national anthem.
Tisch, speaking at this week’s Hollywood premiere of The Equalizer 2, stated that any protesting Giants players will not be penalized, coming down hard on President Donald Trump for suggesting any team do so.
“Hopefully he’ll have much more going on that he’s going have to deal with and should deal with and must deal with than worrying about what NFL players do,” Tisch told Mark Malkin of The Hollywood Reporter.
