Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt tried to navigate a tightrope in regard to the NFL and player protests during the national anthem while addressing reporters at training camp on Saturday morning.
Hunt seemed content to kick the proverbial can down the road and wait for the NFL and its players association to decide how to handle protests during the anthem, while at the same time he wanted to present the organization as supportive of social justice issues, particularly, those of importance to Chiefs players.
“As you guys have probably read or seen elsewhere, the league and the players union are discussing that policy right now,” Hunt said.
