The Claim: An NFL mediator sided with Coach Mike Tomlin, clearing the way for all NFL coaches to bench or fire kneeling players.
Claimed by: The internet, social media, ALLOD
We rate this claim: TRUE
It’s true, patriots. Coach Mike Tomlin benched two players, then fired them. They appealed, and the mediator sided with Tomlin. The ruling means that any NFL head coach can now bench or even fire players who refuse to stand for the national anthem. Around the league, patriotic players and coaches alike celebrated.
In Tampa, Tom Brady reminded his team that he has all the authority of a head coach and that they will do as he says or sit out. Brady insisted two players be benched earlier this year in another article fact-checked by Freedom Fictions.
Kneeling players will now have to leave teams unfriendly to the practice, like the Steelers and Bucs, and head to places like San Fransisco or New York where kneeling gets applause because Democrats hate the troops.
In most sports towns, this whole thing stopped being an issue long ago, and aside from a few Trumpster Boomers and a satire site making fun of them, there isn’t a whole lot to see. Looks like America won this battle.
There is a statement in your article that iswnt true ‘Fact Checkers’: Kneeling players will now have to leave teams unfriendly to the practice, like the Steelers and Bucs, and head to places like San Fransisco or New York where kneeling gets applause….[ because Democrats hate the troops.]

Y’all need to check yourselves before making a blanket statement like that!! How Bold to claim yourself as fact checkers and then make such an outrageous statement!! Sure makes you UNBELEIVEABLE for fact checking. Best check yourself.
Thank you, and your family for your service. It is so appreciated! I’d suggest the article left out the word “most” when referring to democrats and the troops. The dumbos care more about sex change operations for kids than our military. Look at the dribbler who just came home from Russia in trade for a known mass murdering terrorist when we left a Marine in jail. Now look at Mr. Potato Head’s exit from Afghanistan. And where was Mr. Potato Head during the annual Army/Navy game? Trump went and they loved him. Why didn’t he go this year? Because they would have booed him right out of the stadium. The example set by our most senior “leader” does suggest “most” democrats have a distaste for the troops.
