From what I hear of the players union being cut out of the decision, I can see a situation where many more players stay in the locker room rather than stand for the anthem.
Time will tell, but I think the NFL may have inadvertently made things look worse with this move. I don't see why there won't be a lot of focus on the guys standing in the tunnel. Players who stood for the sake of avoiding controversy may just sit the anthem out entirely now. Bottom line is I see this rule leading to less players standing for the anthem. I see how that's different than kneeling but it doesn't look like the solution people called for.
At least people won't be booing during the anthem. When the players who sat out the anthem cone out of the tunnel I expect boos to be issued.
