Stop Playing the National Anthem At Sporting Events: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. It seems once again that kneeling is going to be an issue during the NFL season.

Roger Goodell came out a few days ago and said he now supports peaceful protest while players such as Adrian Peterson have said they fully intend to take a knee during the anthem this season.
