(UTV|COLOMBO) – NFL teams will be fined if players kneel for the US national anthem under a new policy, the BBC Sport reported.
The American football league said players who do not stand for the Star-Spangled Banner can stay in the locker room until it has been performed.
The NFL also vowed to “impose appropriate discipline on league personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem”.
Players said the protests were against police brutality of African Americans.
