During a recent interview with the Express, Triple H, who is the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative for the WWE, was asked how the national anthem protests would be handled in the WWE.
It’s been well documented within the mainstream media that NFL players continued to protest during the national anthem this week. Here is what he had to say:
“I speak for myself, personally only, and if it was me, I would stand for my national anthem. For my country, I would stand,” he said. “But I and WWE certainly respect the rights of everybody’s first amendment right of freedom of speech, their right to peacefully protest and do what is meaningful to them. Certainly, we support that.”
“I question whether there would be a better way to do that, that maybe wouldn’t offend others or something else,” he said. “Surely we respect that line.”
