New NFL policy: Teams to be fined if players kneel during anthem

The NFL announced Wednesday that all players who are on the field when the national anthem is heard before a game must stand — or they can choose to remain in the locker room without penalty.

The league's teams agreed unanimously to the new policy during a spring meeting in Atlanta, and they will be subject to a fine if a player disobeys, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at a news conference.

My thoughts on Beto O’Rourke & Ted Cruz:

Beto is correct about NFL national anthem protests, Ted strangely opposes 1st Amendment here

Ted Cruz is right about the second amendment while Beto O’Rourke is vague & non-specific

Both suck on the healthcare front (Obamacare is awful for healthy folks) & neither offer a decent alternative

Beto is committing to staying within the Senate while Ted Cruz will run for President again

Beto is pro amnesty for Dreamners & asylum seekers while Ted’s position is (now) keep the families together (he previously was for separating children)

I think Beto is better due to his lack of support for authoritarian fascism-lite policies & he is more honest about where he stands, even on controversial issues (like healthcare & national anthem protests).

I will be surprised if Ted Cruz loses (it is Texas after all) but hopes Beto wins as Ted Cruz has lost credibility as a Christian due to his previous support of family separations at the border.

Update: Added missing words from the last sentence.
