Minnesota was in the forefront of discussion across the world when George Floyd’s death, after being detained by police, sparked protests.
One thing that has happened since then: The NFL has apologized for its once-instituted policy regarding anthem protests. NFL players either had to stand for the national anthem or stay in the locker room during it.
Recently, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a video where the league apologized for not allowing players to protest, letting everyone know they now support it.
A recent poll done by Vikings Wire found that 2,870 votes, at the time this article was published, said if Vikings players protested the anthem, they would not be OK with it. Whereas 1,548 votes fans voted saying they would be all right with Minnesota players protesting.
That means that 64.95% of people who voted said that they would not be OK with Vikings players kneeling during the national anthem.
