In a move that has shocked the American football world, the coach of the New England Patriots has spoken out strongly against kneeling during games. According to him, any player who kneels during the national anthem will be banned from the game. The  decision quickly caused strong controversy among players and fans.

The coach said, “We are on the field to play football, not to protest politics. Actions like this only distract and divide the team.” The decision has received support from some fans, but also met with fierce opposition from supporters of freedom of expression.

Some players have spoken out against the decision, arguing that kneeling is a way to express personal opinions and fight for social justice. “We don’t want to be banned from expressing our opinions,” said one player. “We respect the country, but we also have the right to speak our mind.”

What impact will the Patriots coach’s decision have on the team and the upcoming games? Will there be division within the team, or will this decision help them focus more on the game? Let’s wait and see how the players react and what happens next in this dramatic season.
