Kneeling \ Anthem Threads: Update on the no-politics rule

[Maxman]

Just wanted to post a quick update on our long standing no politics rule. First, as a reminder, when we launched in 2005 we had two rules, no political talk, no religious talk. Time has proven that both end badly.

UPDATE:  So, the update is that there is absolutely no update. The same exact rules still apply.

We get that the kneeling protests are a hot topic. We have had over 10 threads on the topics and the ones that we let stay open, things got bad. So there is no change. We are not minimizing the importance of anyone's opinion on this topic, but there are plenty of places to talk about important world issues. This just isn't the place. Talking politics creates long term bad blood, we all want the same thing here and that is for the Jets to win a Super Bowl.

So we will continue to keep the focus on how the Jets perform on the field, once the game starts.

Thanks!
