Ah no they were not! NFL rules state players should be on the sidelines standing and holding their helmets with their left hand and their right over their heart. Those ARE the NFL rules. Look them up idiot.

You know, I took your suggestion and looked this one up. There is a news station that looked into this story, and there are no such requirements in the NFL rule book. Matter of fact, this link to the news story also has a direct link to the NFL rulebook in the story they posted.

SHOW ME THAT IN THE RULE BOOK !

The NFL official playing rules for 2017 pages 62 and 63.

Really? Here's a link to help you out with that...................and in the article posted, it's got a link to the NFL rule book for 2017.

Are NFL Players Required to Stand During the National Anthem? What the League’s Rulebook Says

The excerpt being shared on social media, however, is not in the NFL’s 2017 Official Playing Rules. Instead, pages 62 and 63 contain information about the enforcement of fouls.


In fact, the rulebook doesn’t mention the national anthem at all. The only section possibly relating to this situation is in regards to “Personal Messages” found on page 23, article 8.


The rule about personal messages states:


“Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pregame warm-ups, in the bench area, and during postgame interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office. Items to celebrate anniversaries or memorable events, or to honor or commemorate individuals, such as helmet decals, and arm bands and jersey patches on players’ uniforms, are prohibited unless approved in advance by the League office. All such items approved by the League office, if any, must relate to team or League events or personages. The League will not grant permission for any club or player to wear, display, or otherwise convey messages, through helmet decals, arm bands, jersey patches, or other items affixed to game uniforms or equipment, which relate to political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns. Further, any such approved items must be modest in size, tasteful, non-commercial, and noncontroversial; must not be worn for more than one football season; and if approved for use by a specific team, must not be worn by players on other teams in the League.”

I just read that is incorrect, no rule addresses the National Anthem:
Do NFL rules require players to stand during the national anthem?

The exceprt being shared on social media is not in the NFL’s 2017 Official Playing Rules. Pages 62 and 63 actually contain information about the enforcement of fouls.

In fact, the rulebook doesn’t mention the national anthem at all. The only section that might relate to this situation is in regards to “Personal Messages” found on page 23, article 8.

Wrong stupid. It says that NFL players can't put patches, stickers, or badges on their uniforms without prior NFL approval. Doesn't say anything about how they have to act.

Again..................I've shown where there is nothing in the NFL rulebook about standing for the anthem, but you still say there is. Tell ya what, post a link to back up your claim and we can discuss it. Until then? You are showing that you know nothing about this.
