NFL Sidelines National Anthem Policy

Back in May, NFL owners approved a national anthem policy decreeing that “all league and team personnel shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem,” before games. The new rule banned any kind of visible protest.
The NFL stood down and suspended the anthem rule before any games were actually played, as the two sides talked it out. Now, Deadspin reports those talks aren’t going to lead to any anthem policy for the 2018 season.
