Here's what the national anthem policy actually means.

[blackfoot NAP]

The NFL owners approved a policy that could end player protests during the national anthem.

Any team personnel, including players, must "stand and show respect for the flag and the anthem".

How will "show respect" be defined?

Can players raise their fist?

Will there be anyway avenue to protest without discipline?

[The Question]

Why is the NFL light-years behind the NBA on social justice front.

Because people are sick of politics being inserted into their entertainment; see: Solo's box office. Mattress-wearing knuckleheads aren't kept in the stadiums in fucking pens. They have time enough off the clock to protest whatever the fuck they want, and they can do it on their own time just like anybody else. Not in the workplace.
