AP: Dolphins Anthem Punishments Include Fines, Suspensions
DAVIE (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins may be implementing an extremely strict policy regarding the national anthem.
Dolphins players who protest on the field during the national anthem could be suspended for up to four games under a team policy issued this week, according to The Associated Press.
The “Proper Anthem Conduct” section is just one sentence in a nine-page discipline document provided to AP by a person familiar with the policy who insisted on anonymity because the document is not public.
It classifies anthem protests under a large list of “conduct detrimental to the club,” all of which could lead to a paid or unpaid suspension, a fine or both.
