发帖数: 29846 | 1 The National Football League, this week, announced it will enact a national
anthem policy for 2018 that requires players and league personnel on the
sideline to stand during the national anthem before games.
Last year, tens of thousands of American Family Association supporters
responded to an AFA Action Alert urging NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and
the NFL to adopt a policy that would punish defiant players who refused to
stand for the anthem.
Under the change approved by team owners at the Spring League Meeting,
individual clubs will have the power to set their own policies to ensure the
anthem is being respected during any on-field action. If a player chooses
to protest on the sideline, the NFL will fine the team.
However, the new rule also gives players the option to remain off the field
if they choose not to stand and respect the anthem. This means football fans
will not be subjected to a player's foolish and blatant disrespect for our
anthem, flag and nation. |
