If they implement this rule, as a fuck you to the NFL the players should refuse to sign their next players agreement and go on strike when the next agreement comes up. And until then, they should stand with their backs facing the camera as a fuck you to Roger Goodell, and to the Americans who are offeded by this shit because they're nothing but a bunch of pathetic, whiny, racist, no-life losers.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
