How will Giants handle anthem protests? They won’t — yet

Don’t look for the Giants to institute their own rule regarding kneeling as a form of protest to social injustice during the national anthem. They plan to wait until the NFL and NFL Players Association can come to an agreement on the current league-wide rule that has been put on hold, co-owner John Mara said Thursday prior to the team’s first practice of training camp.

“My intention all along was to sit with our veteran players when they came back to training camp and just discuss the issue,” said Mara, the chairman of the NFL Management Council Executive Committee.
