Report: Teams will not be fined by NFL for staying in locker room during anthem

Seahawks Titans

Three NFL teams could be facing discipline from the league for not going onto the field during the national anthem on Sunday, but it sounds like they will not be fined.

Multiple players across the NFL staged protests during the national anthems in response to President Trump’s harsh comments Friday night. Three teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks, remained in the locker room during the playing of the anthem. That goes against a league rule, which could subject the teams to a penalty.

It sounds like the NFL will make an exception in this case.

The NFL declining to discipline the teams under the circumstances makes sense considering the league and many of its owners sent statements condemning President Trump’s remarks slamming players who kneel during the anthem.
