It's fine. You make decisions and teams can decide how they are.
The league should not be able to make such a decision however.
If Houston doesn't do well, well that's their problem.

The league can't ban players? They suspend players all the time for off the field conduct. The NFL could absolutely ban kneelers, if they wanted.
I sense that you want to broker some sort of a peace. However, your suggestion is fraught with problems. religion and prayer are individual. What religion? Which prayer? These issues are always sectarian. The whole "taking a knee" thing was/is meant to emphasize that, in the U.S., there is is a big difference between who we say we are and what our values are and what we actually do as a nation. This is the overriding issue that we, as Americans, must address.I would encourage teams and players to work out policies they all agree to follow, independent of what they may have done in the past.
So if players agree to stand for the anthem now, or they agree to be off camera if they don't want to stand in public, as long as they follow an agreed policy NOW, that's what matters more.
Frankly, I see nothing wrong with kneeling in prayer for fallen officers, heroes or any others people want to pay respects to, then standing for the anthem.
Why not turn this into a positive prayer instead of political protest?
Nothing wrong with that, and it has even more meaning if it brings people together who may have differed in the past, but came together on a solution. That sends a better stronger message than judging people for past actions instead of rewarding people for coming to a sincere resolution.

Oh, is that what it was/is about? And all this time I thought it was about white, racist policing.
You said they shouldn't be able to do so. I'm guessing that's not what you meant.I didn't say they couldn't ban them.
