APNewsBreak: Dolphins anthem punishment includes suspensions
Miami Dolphins players who protest on the field during the national anthem could be suspended for up to four games under a team policy issued this week.

The “Proper Anthem Conduct” section is just one sentence in a nine-page discipline document provided to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the policy who insisted on anonymity because the document is not public. It classifies anthem protests under a large list of “conduct detrimental to the club,” all of which could lead to a paid or unpaid suspension, a fine or both.

Miami’s anthem policy comes after the NFL decided in May that teams would be fined if players didn’t stand during “The Star-Spangled Banner” while on the field. The league left it up to teams on how to punish players. None of the team policies have been made public.

The NFL rule forbids players from sitting or taking a knee if they are on the field or sidelines during the national anthem, but allows them to stay in the locker room if they wish. The new league rules were challenged this month in a grievance by the players union.

The NFL declined to comment. Team officials had no immediate comment.

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch will not punish his players for any anthem displays of protest and hopes that President Donald Trump will focus on other issues, he told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday.

“Hopefully he’ll have much more going on that he’s going have to deal with and should deal with and must deal with than worrying about what NFL players do,” Tisch told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday night at the premiere of The Equalizer 2. “He has no understanding of why they take a knee or why they’re protesting. When the new season starts, I hope his priorities are not criticizing the NFL and telling owners what to do and what not to do.”

Tisch added a statement of support for his players:

“We support our players,” Tisch said. “They are not going to be punished. There is not going to be any punitive action taking place against them.”

His comments come during a week when issues surrounding the anthem have resurfaced in part due to a joint statement released by the NFL and NFPA Thursday. That statement included that there will be no new rules issued relating to the national anthem, and that none will be enforced over the “next several weeks” while they continue to have “confidential discussions.”



Trump responded to this statement on Twitter Friday, offering his solution.



“The NFL national anthem debate is alive and well again — can’t believe it!” Trump tweeted.

“Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!”"

Teams Have Varying Reactions to New Anthem Policy

NFL owners voted in May on a new anthem policy for the upcoming season, and the NFLPA has since filed an official grievance. The policy gives players the option of staying in the locker room during the national anthem if they don’t want to stand, and players who choose to remain on field will be required to stand.

But if a player or team employee is on the field during the anthem and chooses not to stand, that player’s franchise will be fined. Additionally, players and employees who choose to attend the anthem ceremonies but do not stand will also be eligible for a fine by their franchise, if the team chooses to levy one."

**** like this is why people like Kaep are soo important and needed nowadays.

We got an NFL owner saying that players shouldn't be punished for something that is literally protected by the U.S constitution.

And we have a president literally asking for these players to be fired ( like his reality tv show, but this is real life) for peacefully protesting injustices that should be protected by said constitution.
 
It will be a very interesting opening weekend come Sept 9th(?), especially if Trump opens his 2nd butt hole to talk trash about the players. Which I'm sure he will.
 
But, Buuuuuut, BUUUUUUUUT JERRY and Papa said. The majority of the NFL owners are clowns. Dolphins are a trash organization and Trump is and his supporters are trash people. No worries though, Dak will be STANDING AT ATTENTION when his President Elect and Jerry watch his games.

This is most black heroes in a nutshell. When they are active, pretty much over 65-70% of the (white) american public oppose them. King, Ali, Mandela, Malcolm, etc. After they're either dead or a vegetable then they're national heroes and get a congressional medal of freedom.
