Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie was one of 32 NFL team owners who unanimously approved of the league’s new national anthem policy that was revealed on Wednesday.
Lurie did not offer direct comment on the new policy but he did issue a general statement.
“I have always believed it is the responsibility of sports teams to be very proactive in our communities. In this great country of ours, there are so many people who are hurting and marginalized, which is why I am proud of our players for continuously working to influence positive change.
