Nebraska's Michael Rose-Ivey To Meet Governor In 2017
Nebraska football player Michael Rose-Ivey and Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts are going to hold off on their meeting until after the season.
After Rose-Ivey and his two teammates took a knee during the National Anthem in the Northwestern game, Governor Ricketts called his actions “disgraceful.” Despite those comments, it appears quite a few Husker fans support the players’ rights to protest.
When the smoke cleared from the immediate fallout, Michael Rose Ivey asked the governor to meet with himself and some of the other Nebraska football players. The Governor accepted the invitation and since then, people have been wondering when exactly the meeting might occur.
The Scottsbluff Star-Herald reports the governor has issued a statement saying the meeting will not take place until after the Nebraska football season is over. It appears the player couldn’t make some times the governor’s office pitched during the bye week work, and the two decided to wait until after the season.

“I’ll be in the stands cheering on the Huskers, and I look forward to visiting with him after the bowl games,” the governor said in a statement. In the last week, Ricketts added further comments in his weekly column saying, “The notion that our flag represents the imperfections of a flawed country rather than the high ideals of equality and liberty is misguided.”
Since Michael Rose-Ivey issued a statement the Monday after his protest, he hasn’t had a great deal to say about it. As has been the case for all the other home games this year, the Nebraska football players have been in the locker room during the National Anthem so the protest hasn’t been an issue since that game.
