The NFL has been unable to escape turmoil surrounding the issue of protests that take place during the National Anthem. The subject seemed to be quieting down with fewer and fewer players protesting, and then the owners instituted a new policy in May that would require players either stand and not protest during the Anthem or remain in the locker room until the Anthem was finished.
The owners have since postponed implementation of the rule while they discuss alternative solutions with the NFL Players Association. That did not stop Jerry Jones from voicing his opinion on the matter.
