I wonder why that is...and why didn't the NFL stand firm with a similar policy?

Everyone has various opinions and heartfelt causes they support, what would happen if an anti-abortion player used a nationally televised 'entertainment' venue to publicize their cause? Freedom of expression, right?

Well, you see how they belittled and almost "crucified" Tim Tebow, right? :frown:

NASCAR doesnt seem to have difficulties with this issue.

To Shamelessly Kneel On The Necks Of Black American Service Men
And To Proudly Sit On The Faces Of Black Service Women
Just Proves To Me That The Klan As Gone Rainbow

People may cover their hatred with pleasant words, but they're deceiving you. They pretend to be kind, but don't believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils.

While their hatred may be concealed by trickery, their wrongdoing will be exposed in public. Proverbs 26:24-26 (New Living Translation)
