After Rose-Ivey and his two teammates took a knee during the National Anthem in the Northwestern game, Governor Ricketts called his actions “disgraceful.” Despite those comments, it appears quite a few Husker fans support the players’ rights to protest.
When the smoke cleared from the immediate fallout, Michael Rose Ivey asked the governor to meet with himself and some of the other Nebraska football players. The Governor accepted the invitation and since then, people have been wondering when exactly the meeting might occur.
The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reports the governor has issued a statement saying the meeting will not take place until after the Nebraska football season is over.
