Civil rights groups protest at NFL HQ for players' right to kneel

As NFL teams confront a new policy that aims to quell player protests during the national anthem, civil rights groups and community leaders rallied Friday morning with a unified message of their own: Athletes have a "right to kneel." Protesters held signs and spoke in front of the NFL's New York headquarters demanding the league reverse its "dangerous decision" for next season requiring any player who ventures onto the field during "The Star-Spangled Banner" to stand. Players, however, can choose to stay in the locker room during the anthem without penalty.
