Chargers' Okung slams Cowboys anthem over US national anthem policy
LA CHARGERS star Russell Okung slammed Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones today for forcing his players to be pitchside for the United States national anthem.
Jones revealed on Wednesday that the team policy for the coming season would be to “stand at the anthem, toe on the line.”
The NFL and the players’ union agreed last week to suspend the rule approved by owners this spring that gave players the option of staying in the locker room while allowing teams to discipline players who took a knee or sat during the anthem.
