Your position for the assignment is you are the Athletic Director for a university. Your first and second string quarterbacks, along with your starting defensive backs and wide receivers knelt for the National Anthem at last week's game. Some boosters called you to complain and some parents called the President's office to complain. The President instructions to you were "handle it."
What is your response to the President?
What is your response to the Boosters?
What is your response to the Parents?
If you feel that one response will suffice, so be it only provide one response but note that it is for all parties.
