11. Brilliant move that adds another dimension to the protest.

They can't be accused of disrespecting the anthem, flag, military, police, god, apple pie, guns, whatever.

But some are going to argue that they are interfering with the game itself, even though the ball was kicked into the end zone and bounced out of the back of it, so the outcome of that play didn't change.

And it can be done at any time during the game when there is a kickoff.

Brilliant move that adds another dimension to the protest. Mr.Bill Sep 2020 #11

Based on the OP, I assumed the ball was still in play since they said there was no return MichMan Sep 2020 #14

It looked like it landed in the end zone and bounced out of the back of it. Mr.Bill Sep 2020 #16

Ball landed in the very back of the End Zone, Ilsa Sep 2020 #18
