The owners should decide that ALL players will remain in the locker room while the National Anthem is being played. They can use the time to pray to Allah, sit on their butts, or do whatever they want....they’ll just not have a public forum.
Too bad for the decent ones who would like to stand for the anthem but their players ruined it for all of them.
That’s what the goal is, to stop the playing of the National Anthem, altogether.
