Kraft’s declaration is expected to have a significant impact, not only on the Patriots but also on the broader debate surrounding athletes’ rights to protest during sports events. Anthem kneeling, which began in 2016 when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick protested racial injustice and police brutality, has been a polarizing issue within the NFL and beyond.
In a statement addressing the decision, Kraft emphasized the importance of respecting the flag and the anthem while acknowledging the need for continued social justice efforts. “While we support players in their fight for equality, Gillette Stadium will be a place where we honor the national anthem without protest. There are other ways to advocate for change, and we will continue to work together with our team to make a difference off the field,” Kraft said.
