When it comes to New York Jets players kneeling during the national anthem, team chairman Christopher Johnson is a standup guy. Johnson said the team wouldn’t fine any player for protesting, despite a new NFL owner-approved measure that enables teams to do so, according to reports. Wednesday’s rule change says players must stand for the anthem or stay off the field. “As I have in the past, I will support our players wherever we land as a team,” Johnson said in a statement, according to the New York Post. I remain extremely proud of how we demonstrated unity last season as well as our players’ commitment to strengthening our communities.”
