Will FWISD have a policy for players planning to protest during national anthem?

Fort Worth Independent School District will have a formal policy regarding its players and teams that want to protest during the national anthem, but it’s not exactly sure how to phrase it all.

Fort Worth ISD athletic director Todd Vesely, who was formally hired in June, said he has discussed with FWISD coaches how to handle this. Right now, he said, they are formulating a “game plan.”

It does sound like there will not be a strict policy forbidding it.

Fort Worth Dunbar football coach Todd Lawson said last week some of his players have expressed an interest “doing something” during the national anthem to raise awareness about social inequalities.
