New York Giants co-owner John Mara expressed his support for players who choose to kneel during the national anthem despite being against the idea. Mara made the comments in remarks to reporters Thursday, according to Giants Wire. “I’ll support any players’ right to engage in silent protest. When the NFL gave teams the right to discipline players who are out on the field and don’t stand, Mara said that standing was the “right thing” to do. Players, however, have said adamantly that kneeling during the anthem has nothing to do with the flag or the military.
