Missouri Governor Mike Parson said he doesn’t agree with NFL players who take a knee during the National Anthem but believes they have the right to do so.
Parson was asked about the topic Tuesday while he was visiting Chiefs practice on the final day of the team’s training camp at Missouri Western.
“We all have individual freedoms in this country,” Parson said. “It’s not something I agree with, but those players have a right to express themselves also.”
The NFL agreed last month to put on hold a new policy requiring players to stand for the national anthem.
