NFL & Anthem
« on: May 23, 2018, 03:53:42 PM »
NFL owners have unanimously approved a new national anthem policy that requires players to stand if they are on the field during the performance but gives them the option to remain in the locker room if they prefer.

The policy subjects teams to a fine if a player or any other team personnel do not show respect for the anthem. That includes any attempt to sit or kneel, as dozens of players have done during the past two seasons to protest racial inequality and police brutality. Those teams also will have the option to fine any team personnel, including players, for the infraction.

What is your take? Does this make NFL look bad?

There's plenty of room for controversy and debate. NFLPA have already vow to fight it.
