Abstract
This article explores the different punishments frequently used by the NFL to determine whether they can legally be applied to players who kneel during the anthem. Additionally, this article analyzes how the NFL's 2020 collective bargaining agreement can change to narrow its broad power while still allowing the league to punish reprehensible acts. Finally, this article recommends a way forward through the current anthem controversy.
