The NFL rule book specifically requires both teams appear on the field for the playing of the anthem, standing, remaining quiet, and holding their helmets in their left hands. Failure to do so can result in fines, suspensions, and the loss of draft picks.

The rules are found on pages A62-63 of the league’s game operations manual:

The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem.

During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.



He's letting the inmates run the asylum and its going to cost them BIGLY.

How many times does this have to be posted before people realize that it is fake?

Yet the NFL's Game Operations Manual -- the 200-plus book the league refers to as its "bible" -- is different than its rulebook. It is not available to the public. The rule cited above comes from the league itself, via the Washington Post. The Post reported Sunday that the NFL confirmed the rule's existence but emphasized their ability to enforce it selectively: Under the league rule, the failure to be on the field for the anthem may result in discipline such as a fine, suspension or loss of a draft pick. But a league official said the key phrase is “may” result, adding he won’t speculate on whether the Steelers would be disciplined. The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league’s game operations manual, according to a league source.

If you can take the time to repost a Facebook meme, you can take the time to search the front page at least to find it's been posted.

Its linked to a Washington Post article, not Facebook.

If it's a lie, they told it.

It really takes suspension of disbelief to believe fricking up anthem procedure would subject a team to draft penalties

In fairness to the OP, HHTM had the decency to be embarrassed enough to request a delete.

Can we just start banning people after they've posted a set amount of fake news. I recommend 1.

Your own article says that the story is fake at the bottom, holy hell!

Don't believe everything that you read.
