During the preparation there were large protests as a large number of punishments were handed out. However, the NFL still decided to stick with the new helmet rule. What topic concerns the NFL? Still the anthem protest. The 32 club owners adopted a new etiquette rule in the spring that would require players to stand when “The Star-Spangled Banner” plays. The professionals should stay in the dressing room to protest. But the NFLPA players' union filed a complaint and the rule was suspended. So far there is no agreement between the parties.
