- The NFL's new national-anthem policy is now on hold after reports that the Miami Dolphins would classify protests as "conduct detrimental to the team."
- While the NFL's goal was to end the conversation surrounding protests during the national anthem, its new policy only ensured that it would remain a storyline heading into the 2018 season.
- The attempted rollout of the new anthem policy shows an astounding lack of foresight from NFL owners hoping to keep the focus on football.
In May, NFL owners announced a new policy designed to stop players from protesting during the national anthem. Under the new rules, teams would be fined if players and personnel "do not show appropriate respect for flag and anthem."
But rather than a solution, the new policy was instead a vague and problematic half-measure that only ensured the conversation surrounding the protests carried on into the 2018 football year. It certainly continued into this week.
