The NFL and NFL Players Association made progress on Friday http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/ryan-anderson-jersey , as they try to hammer out Anthem Policy 3.0. Steelers owner Art Rooney II possibly has provided a glimpse regarding what the new policy will entail.

“Of course everybody wants the players to be standing, including most of the players,” Rooney said in a weekend appearance on NFL Network, via SportsBusiness Daily. “At the end of last season, we were down to just a handful of players that were protesting at the anthem http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/demarcus-ware-jersey , so the vast majority of players want to be focused on football, don’t want to be getting into politics on the field. If everyone has that mindset, we can work something out.”

And if everyone has that mindset, the end result will be that all players will stand for the anthem, with no protests of any kind. And even if some players don’t like that http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/jimmy-graham-jersey , the NFL Players Association has the power to bind the full rank and file.

Ultimately, the outcome hinges on the union leadership’s willingness to agree to strip protests out of the anthem, possibly without a major concession from the NFL. If the anthem issue is bad for business (and NFL leadership continues to believe it is), then it’s bad for the players’ broader business interests. In turn, it could be good for the players within the confines of the looming Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations to extend a valuable olive branch that both preserves the Golden Goose while also getting the Commander-in-Chief off the NFL’s case Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , after of course he engages in a protracted victory lap.

Game One of the Stanley Cup Final had a little bit of everything. And it had a lot of Mark Davis.

The Raiders owner took his trademark hairstyle to rink side in Las Vegas for the first game of the best-of-seven series that will determine the champions of hockey and the new custodians of the Stanley Cup. And Davis isn’t a Johnny-Come-Lately; he attended the team’s regular-season home opener, and he has supported the franchise throughout its inaugural season.

Davis will soon be taking his own team to Las Vegas, and he has to be inspired by the support that the hockey team enjoys, with a standing-room-only crowd in the arena and thousands more outside. If the folks in Vegas will do that for a brand-new hockey team, they’ll likely do the same for one of the most iconic brands in football.

For a city that was excluded from big-time sports for decades due to gambling Chris Jones Jersey , the emergence of the Golden Knights combined with the looming arrival of the Raiders and the likely installation of Vegas as a key component of the Super Bowl rotation will make Vegas a major player in the American sports landscape, surely inviting speculation that an MLB and/or NBA team eventually could end up there.
