As the season approaches, all eyes will be on the Denver Broncos to see how Elway’s policy plays out. Will players adhere to the coach’s demands, or will there be a defiant act of protest that tests Elway’s resolve? The answer could have far-reaching implications not just for the Broncos, but for the NFL as a whole.
One thing is certain: John Elway has drawn a line in the sand, and he’s not backing down. In a league where the pressure to conform to public opinion is immense, Elway’s decision to prioritize team unity and patriotism over individual expression is a bold—and risky—move. Whether it pays off or backfires remains to be seen, but for now, Elway is standing firm in his belief that when it comes to the Denver Broncos, the anthem is not the time to take a knee.
