In May, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell introduced a policy that would require players to stand or remain in the locker room during the during the anthem.

The policy would fine players who chose to sit or kneel during the pre-game performance. The NFL put the policy on hold for the 2018 season to allow for further discussion between the league and the union, the NFL Players Association.
