Victory formation started as a way for the offense to eliminate as much as possible the risk of losing due to a fumble when they don't need the yardage to win the game. "Taking a knee" at halftime is completely discretionary and should NEVER be assumed. In the NFL, "taking a knee" should be afforded the same opportunities as any other play.
I can buy protecting kids in HS, but when we're talking about millionaires with incredible athletic prowess, don't just let them play, MAKE them play.

This happened at the end of the game.
Bush league for taking two knees then trying to throw a TD pass up 10 points with 30 seconds to go. (Even worse was the fact that DPI was called in the EZ and the Eagles scored the TD on the next play)
A common theme seems to be emerging here. Millionaires.....
There's a reason why they are millionaires. There's a reason why the teams in the league have accepted the practice of taking the knee with no resistance.
You don't like them being millionaires, that's your hang up.
The best line I heard out of all this was that "when guys bring stuff from the college game to the pro game, the usually end up back in the college game"
How true....
