The NFL's new policy will require players on field to stand for national anthem, and teams are subject to fines for any disrespect.
FROM ACLU:
Telling peaceful protesters to leave and do it behind closed doors is downright un-American. The NFL players’ protests have never been about the military or the flag — they’re about police brutality and white supremacy. Failing to protest injustice in America is not patriotic, it’s dangerous.
