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.

Do you do any research before you post?

Dang, kneejerk leftist. I was hoping you were going to prove me wrong, but alas you did not.

Interesting that no advertisers have threatened to stop advertising during NFL games.

Did you read the original post before you linked the article?

The article has nothing to do with the original post.

In fact, the original post actually addresses an issue with RGIII when he was wearing a T-shirt with the slogan, :No Jesus, No Peace. Know Jesus, Know Peace."

The NFL would not allow him to wear display that message during a press conference. He had to turn his t-shirt inside out.

Mostly because their adds will be shown during playoffs for free or MLB playoffs for free or some other major sporting event for free or discounted heavily. It's how these things work and not a barometer.

Quote: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:
NOT THE RULEBOOK!!!

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.

The rules regarding gameday policies are in the "Leagues game operations manual" NOT in the rulebook.

Yes let's keep debating something that every person has a right to do and people died to defend your right to do it.

Meanwhile that dough-boy in NK is about to obliterate the planet...... but you know, this is far more important......


The NFL is right - you are all stupid!

So not only is bubba too lazy to do a quick google search before he posts something false online, he's apparently too much of a coward to own up to his mistake.

Right cherrr. Why the America hatin'?

Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office. Items to celebrate anniversaries or memorable events, or to honor or commemorate individuals, such as helmet decals, and arm bands and jersey patches on players’ uniforms, are prohibited unless approved in advance by the League office. All such items approved by the League office, if any, must relate to team or League events or personages. The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns. Further, any such approved items must be modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial, and noncontroversial; must not be worn for more than one football season; and if approved for use by a specific team, must not be worn by players on other teams in the League.

My bad, I think I didn't follow the quote feature correctly. I thought you were saying the national anthem being played was in the rule book.
