It seems that owners are listening to President Trump’s advice and are thinking about forcing players to stand during during the national anthem. According to Shaun King and former NFL player Donte Stallworth, at least two teams are implementing a rule that will require players to stand during the national anthem.

This is unfortunately true and needs to be exposed. Every HC/owner should be asked in postgame pressers tomorrow what *their team policy is. https://t.co/aO9YluJlEu

It will be interesting to see if we ever find out which team implements this rule and what would be the fall out to come afterwards.
