Not sure where that info came from but I watched the opening and they sang the National Anthem and all the players they showed were standing and most had to their hand over their heart.I
They had 16 Medal of Honor recipients with one WWII doing the coin toss.
Maybe the NFL finally got the message.
Incidentally, this is my first game to watch this season, and only because two of our local guys are playing in it. Alshon Jeffery for the Eagles and Stephon Gilmore for the Patriots. Two of the best to ever play for South Carolina.
