NFL owners are reportedly considering instituting a 15-yard penalty for players who kneel during the national anthem.
Albert Breer of NFL Network reported the news. The measure came up during league owner meetings this week in Atlanta.
Under the proposal, the home team would have the option to decide whether teams come out to the field for the anthem. Teams would then be penalized 15 yards if a player chooses to kneel.
