Should NFL players be allowed to kneel during the national anthem?

The American football league have said players who do not stand for the Star-Spangled Banner can stay in the locker room until it has been performed.

The new policy is aiming to combat demonstrations which spread throughout the game after former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick took a knee, to protest police brutality and racial inequality in 2016.

It's something Henry Burris who played in the NFL with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers along with Superbowl winner Rocky Boiman feel strongly about!
