As the Pittsburgh Steelers, and many other NFL franchises were wrapping up their first week of Organized Team Activities (OTAs), the talk Wednesday and Thursday wasn’t about football. It was about the NFL’s new policy on the National Anthem.
Most reading this likely know already what the policy states. Essentially it leaves the power to the team whether the players come out onto the field, or stay in the locker room, for the anthem. However, if teams go on the field and there is a form of protest, penalties can occur within the organization.
Naturally, this entire topic brings with it a great amount of fervor from everyone across this great nation.
