ORLANDO, Fla. — The NFL owners plan on discussing the national anthem protests and how to handle them going forward this week at the league meetings.
Jets CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson is opposed to trying to legislate the players out of protesting.
“I have some pretty strong feelings about that,” Johnson said. “I don’t approve of changing the current status. I know there’s some discussion of keeping players off the field until after the anthem. I think that that’s a particularly bad idea.”
Johnson felt the Jets came together as an organization after the anthem issue got heated in September.
