"During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking."

They are leftists, they hate America.  America is a country founded on a system of laws instead of the will of the dictator.  They hate laws / rules that they don't like.

Don't be surprised when leftists ignore rules they don't like ATM.

Fines for subtle and tasteful 9/11 and Dallas police ambush memorials followed by vigorous support for in your face anti-American retardation is what galls me.  This league is run by morons. FNFL.

Don't care, don't need to watch.  Now I can find more productive things to do on Sunday, like brewing beer.  Or drinking beer.

I wasn't aware of the rules pertaining to player behavior during the national anthem.  Rules are rules, now we will see if the NFL has the stones to enforce their own rules.  

It would be interesting if every player who violated the rule got the same fine ($10,000 for example).   Then the NFL could donate all that money to various veteran's organizations which have the best ratings from Charity Watch (they rate the percentage of donations that actually end up being spent for the claimed causes).  If each team receives fines for 40 people at $10K each, that could be significant money.

When I searched for the NFLs 2017 rule book and downloaded the PDF, this bullshit could not be found. I wish people would search for this shit themselves before spreading it all over the internet.
2017 NFL rule book.

There is a rule book and a separate operations manual.

There's an editorial article that spells this out
I saw it this morning; looks like two sets of rules.

Goodell' s daddy was a liberal NY republican senator.
He rode daddy's coat tails.

The league goes to great lengths to provide a consistent, fair, and TV- and fan-friendly product. It’s imperative that the games are decided on the field, between the two teams. The NFL Football Operations “bible” is the Game Operations Manual — nearly 200 pages of procedures and policy for regular season games alone.
The Game Operations Manual is not publicly available.  The parts about the anthem are from a league official cited in the Washington Post.  See the WP link in the OP and the time.com link further down.

Too little, too late. Should have said this last year. Not when they start noticing a decline in viewership and revenue. Not that I watched last year, nor was I going to watch this year.

You are fake news.

If you read the article, you would see that Time and CNN confirmed the rules are real. There are two sets of rule books covering different aspects of the game.
