So what does the NFL say about the National Anthem? Nothing at all in the rule book. The words “National Anthem” are not mentioned once.
NFL Spokesman Brian McCarthy did give additional guidance back in August of 2016 when Colin Kaepernick first “took a knee” in protest. The statement to
NBC’s Sports said “players are encouraged but not required to stand during the playing of the National Anthem.”
The closest mention in the NFL’s rule book might be the “Personal Messages” section found on page 23, article 8. That section prohibits players “from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration” during pregame, while on the bench or during post game interviews. However, it does not give any guidelines on how the players should present themselves during the National Anthem.
