The ongoing controversy sparked by some NFL players "taking a knee" during the playing of our National Anthem has resulted in a ruling from football executives.

On Wednesday, the NFL ordered that players who refused to stand during our National Anthem could face a stiff fine.  The 32 teams were allowed to come up with their own guidelines within this general rule.  Also, players who chose to not attend the playing of the anthem are now allowed to stay in the locker room.

How do you feel about this new ruling?
