In the thick steak and single malt world of Peter King, kneeling NFL players equals Nazi salute.

Disgraceful that @nyjets owner will pay fines for players who kneel for National Anthem. Encouraging a movement premised on lies vs. police. Would he support all player protests? Would he pay fines of players giving Nazi salutes or spew racism? It’s time to say goodbye to Jets!

A nazi salute is protected speech, where kneeling is not.
