No more kneeling. NFL passes new rule

[Trademark]

Following a unanimous vote by all 32 owners, Roger Goodell announced Wednesday that the league will require all players and personnel from both teams to stand during the playing of the National Anthem before games, or else be subject to a team fine. If players and personnel do not wish to stand, they will be allowed to stay in the locker room during the anthem.

Here’s Goodell’s official statement via NFL.com –

The policy adopted today was approved in concert with the NFL’s ongoing commitment to local communities and our country — one that is extraordinary in its scope, resources, and alignment with our players. We are dedicated to continuing our collaboration with players to advance the goals of justice and fairness in all corners of our society.
