Today, the 32 NFL owners voted unanimously to approve a new league policy in for what players and team personnel must do during the national anthem. Following that decision, New York Jets chairman Chris Johnson told Newsday that his players will be able to continue to protest without any fear of repercussions from the team.
Under the new policy, players are no longer required to be on the field during the anthem. But, if they are, they will be required to stand or the team faces fines from the league and the teams have the right to implement any fines they see fit in that case.
