NFL owners have now reportedly offically adopted a new national anthem policy and it will certainly bring forward a pretty big discussion around the football world.
According to MMQB’s Albert Breer, league owners decided to vote in favor or the anthem changes during their annual spring meeting on Wednesday.

It must also be noted that the NFLPA says it was not involved in these conversations.
Too little, too late.
Ping
Which anthem are we talking about? All players stood for the Mexican and British anthems...
Those hiding out in locker rooms should be fined, too.
You can hide in the locker room as the compromise? Lol
Doesn’t fix a thing. We know their feelings toward the country that allowed them to be rich beyond their dreams and allows them to sh!! and pi!! On the flag, veterans and Americans in general without fear of persecution. But this is how the fair market works a$$holes! Hope you end up homeless in a Starbucks.
Face it. There no longer exists a common consensus in the United States. The country is badly divided. The division is reflected in all American institutions including the NFL., Jerry Jones is bewildered as are the other owners who see no solution and will lose money. Starbucks, Dick’s Sporting Goods and others are experiencing the effects of these divisions. Hopefully there will not be blood.
That’s STILL an overt protest
[[”We believe today’s decision will keep our focus on the game and the extraordinary athletes who play it — and on our fans who enjoy it.”]]
Too late- you took a beloved national pastime and turned it into an ignorant politically driven propaganda campaign- and you paid a huge price for your blatant disregard for your fans- FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS!
My thoughts too.
exactly- goodell claims the players respect this ocuntry- that’s BS-
[[It was unfortunate that on-field protests created a false perception among many that thousands of NFL players were unpatriotic. This is not and was never the case.]]
That’s a lie roger— colin and many of his ilk that kneeled with him don’t infact respect this country- - colin doesn’t respect this country- painting the whole country as ‘racist’ as seen by his statement:
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour,”
Even his own mother denounced his destructive protests:

@Kaepernick7 There’s ways to make change w/o disrespecting & bringing shame to the very country & family who afforded you so many blessings.
@Kaepernick7 The path less traveled doesn’t need to be one of destruction.
Sorry Roger- you continue to lie and the ONLY reason you have announced this ‘new policy’ is because your bottom dollar was severely affected by people dropping subscriptions to the NFL and throwing away their season passes in protest of YOU and your ilk. The ONLY reason you are now implementing this policy is because kneeling and showing disrespect for this country has cost your league big time! IF it hadn’;t- you would never have come out with this new policy- Go away hypocrite!
For me it’s a little like the cheap lager I used to drink as a kid. Once you’re off it, you never go back.
Way too late. My once beloved Pittsburgh Kneelers are now DEAD to me.
The NFL still hasn’t woke up to the fact that their fans are always last in line. Always.

I’ve moved on. Whatever. I feel about the NFL as I do my ex-wife.
Nothing.
Screw the nfl. The anti-American thugs that own the league and those who play in it can rot. Never again.
There will be blood.
Fork the nfl forever.
As far as the NFL goes, I’m “lost and gone forever.”
