MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins have announced players will not be on the field for the national anthem in Sunday’s season opener.
In a video first shared by ESPN’s Jay Williams, several Fins players explain they will “stay inside” during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
The team’s demonstration includes staying inside for “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Black national anthem, which the NFL has decided will be played before every week-one game.
