Few good options on
anthem protests for
NFL owners
By JIMMY GOLEN
AP Sports Writer
The controversy over
NFL players protesting
during the national anthem
isn’t going away, despite
— or perhaps because of
— team owners’ efforts
to stop players from using
the forum to speak out on
political causes.
The league’s attempt to
turn responsibility for dis-
ciplining protesters over
to individual teams back-
fired on Thursday when
the Miami Dolphins tried
to categorize raising a fist
or kneeling during the
anthem as “conduct detri-
mental to the club.” That
gave them the right to pun-
ish a player with a fine or
up to a four-game suspen-
sion — one game more
than Buccaneers quarter-
back Jameis Winston got
when he was accused of
groping an Uber driver.
Hours after The Asso-
ciated Press reported on
Miami’s rules, the NFL
and the players union
issued a joint statement
saying they were putting
any anthem conduct pol-
icy on hold to see if they
could come up with a com-
promise. But the owners
aren’t left with many good
options to diffuse the con-
troversy, especially with
President Donald Trump
eager to fan the flames.
Here’s a look at some of
them:
LEAVE IT TO THE
TEAMS
The Plan: The league’s
solution, which the NFL
Players Association chal-
lenged, was to allow each
team to determine whether
to punish its own play-
ers for protesting during
the anthem. The policy
adopted in May by team
owners subjected clubs to
fines and required play-
ers to stand if they are
on the field during “The
Star-Spangled Banner,”
though it allowed players
to stay in the locker room
if they wished.
This would have given
hard-line owners in con-
servative regions a chance
to clamp down while
allowing teams in more
liberal areas to let their
players have their say.
As it turned out, all it
did was punt the ball down
the road.
The Winners: None.
With players punished in
some cities and protest-
ing freely in others, there
would always be plenty to
complain about for those
inclined to do so. And
everyone seems inclined
to do so these days.
The Losers: NFL own-
ers. Any punishment is
destined to divide the
locker room and the fan-
dom; should a team actu-
ally suspend a significant
contributor, it would only
be hurting itself. And the
guarantee of unequal treat-
ment between and within
teams would surely keep
the issue in the news for
yet another season.
GO BACK TO THE
OLD WAY
The Plan: Ask players
to stand at attention during
the national anthem, and
hope that they do.
The Winners: Play-
ers, who would retain the
ability to call attention
to causes they believe in,
namely racial inequality
and police brutality . And
President Trump, who
gets applause any time he
attacks the protesting play-
ers as he stumps for Repub-
licans in the November
midterm elections.
The Losers: NFL own-
ers, or at least those like
Houston’s Bob McNair
who have chafed at the
notion of the “inmates run-
ning the prison.” They lose
control and remain a sub-
ject of Trump’s ridicule.
KEEP PLAYERS IN
THE LOCKER ROOM
DURING THE ANTHEM
The Plan: Players can’t
protest during the anthem
if they aren’t on the field
during the anthem. Or so
the theory goes. But the
demonstrations were never
about the anthem itself; it
started as a way for 49ers
quarterback Colin Kaeper-
nick to protest racial
inequality and expanded
into a league-wide us-vs.-
them after Trump’s hol-
lered at one rally: “Get that
son of a bitch off the field.”
The Winners: Fans who
were triggered by the sight
of players kneeling during
the song. And players, who
could surely find another
forum for their protests.
The Losers: NFL own-
ers. The president has
already said this isn’t patri-
otic enough for him, so
there’s little hope of him
easing up on his criticism.
And it would cost them the
connection to the flag and
country they have worked
hard to cultivate.
COMPROMISE
The Plan: Other sports
worked with their players
so that they didn’t have to
protest to be heard. Maybe
the owners make a dona-
tion to the players’ pet
projects, play a video on
the scoreboard, or other-
wise give them a forum for
their concerns.
The Winners: Players.
It’s not about the protest,
it’s about the cause.
The Losers: NFL own-
ers. Even if they could
stomach the loss of con-
trol, the political intrusion
on the sport is bound to
alienate some fans.
STOP PLAYING THE
ANTHEM
BEFORE
GAMES
The Plan: Join almost
every other country in the
world and skip the forced
display of patriotism that
demands players stand at
attention while fans check
their phones, finish their
hot dogs or take the oppor-
tunity to visit the bath-
room. If teams want to
honor the military or local
first-responders, let them
do so free from marketing
deals.
The Winners: Fans
who don’t consider the
anthem an integral part of
the sports experience, giv-
ing them another 90 sec-
onds in to spend in game
day traffic without missing
anything.
The Losers. NFL own-
ers. Concessionaires. And
a whole generation of
American Idol also-rans.
CARNOUSTIE, Scot-
land (AP) — A light rain in
the morning that gave way
to soft sunlight in the after-
noon took some of the sting
out of Carnoustie.
Just not all of it.
Kevin Kisner found that
out with one swing that
erased his two-shot lead Fri-
day in the British Open and
left him tied with house-
mate Zach Johnson. He hit
an 8-iron that only needed
to go 150 yards to clear
the Barry Burn in front of
the 18th green. Instead, it
floated out of the yellow
grass to the right, bounced
off the base of the rock wall
that frames the winding
stream and led to a double
bogey.
Disappointed but not
down, Kisner removed his
cap behind the green and
scratched his head as if he
wondered what hit him.
“They call it ‘Car-nasty’
for a reason,” he said after
signing for his 1-under
70. “Even when you think
you’ve got it, it will jump
up and bite you.”
It took a chunk out of
Dustin Johnson and Jus-
tin Thomas, the Nos. 1 and
2 players in the world who
won’t be around for the
weekend. Johnson finished
with a double bogey to miss
the cut by one. Thomas
made three straight double
bogeys on the front nine and
missed by one.
And it left a wide-open
weekend on a course with a
history of crazy finishes.
Zach Johnson, whose
name already is on the claret
jug from his playoff victory
at St. Andrews three years
ago, played in the morning
under an umbrella and fin-
ished with a 30-foot birdie
putt for a 67.
Johnson and Kisner are
staying in a house of seven
players — five of them
major champions — and

Championship in Carnoustie, Scotland.
share the lead at 6-under
136.
They played on different
ends of a day that started
gray and ended with shad-
ows. Scotland’s unusu-
ally dry summer finally got
a reprieve. There wasn’t
enough rain to turn brown
fairways green, though it at
least kept shots from rolling
endlessly.
They head into a
weekend with endless
possibilities.
One shot behind were
Tommy Fleetwood (65),
Pat Perez (68) and Xander
Schauffele (66). Perez was
tied for the lead until he hit
into a bunker on the 18th
hole and took bogey. Rory
McIlroy, pledging to “go
down swinging” to rid him-
self of a bad Masters mem-
ory this year, had another
69 and was part of a large
group two shots behind.
Jordan Spieth also is in
the mix in his bid to take
the claret jug back home
to Texas. Spieth hit 8-iron
through a gap in the trees for
a birdie-birdie start to the
back nine, and he dropped
only one shot — not four
like he did on Thursday —
over the four closing holes
at Carnoustie for a 67. He
goes into the weekend just
three shots back.
“Very happy to be back
in the tournament,” Spieth
said.
Tiger Woods still has
work to do after a rugged
start, good recovery and
then a mix of birdies and
bogeys that left him stuck
in neutral on a better day for
scoring. Woods had another
71 and was six shots behind,
with 28 players between
him and the lead.
“We’ve been fortu-
nate with the conditions. It
hasn’t blown yet,” Kisner
said. “I think it will blow
this weekend and make it
even more difficult. Who
knows what’s going to hap-
pen? We’re going to just
keep trying to get after it.”
Carnoustie was a far dif-
ferent test from the open-
ing round, when sunshine
baked the fairways crisp and
it was difficult to figure out
how far the ball was going
when it hit the ground. The
steady, light rain made them
a little slower and a lot more
predictable. The greens held
shots a little better. Strat-
egies changed. Slightly
softer conditions meant
power players who were
driving beyond the trouble
hit more irons off the tee,
and shorter players hit more
drivers and fairway metals.
Kisner hit 5-iron off the
first tee Thursday. He hit
3-wood Friday.
“Hit the same club as
the approach,” Kisner said.
“That’s a pretty dramatic
difference in distance.”
Kisner is a newcomer to
what amounts to an Amer-
ican fraternity house at
golf’s oldest championship
the last three years. Four of
them are among the top 11
on the leaderboard going
into the weekend with Spi-
eth and Rickie Fowler, who
shot 69 and was at 3-under
139.
As for talking shop after
work? Nothing is off limits.
“Everybody will tell
their horror stories and good
stories, and we’ll laugh and
eat a big old meal and sit
around and watching some-
thing stupid,” Kisner said.
Thomas will have one of
the horror stories.
The PGA champion took
three to get out of a pot bun-
ker from the fairway on the
par-5 sixth hole, making the
first of three straight double
bogeys. Johnson became
the first No. 1 player to miss
the cut since Luke Donald
in 2011, and it was the sec-
ond straight that the top two
players in the world ranking
missed the cut in a major.
