The requirements for the policy stated:

  • "All team and league personnel on the field shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."
  • "The Game Operations Manual will be revised to remove the requirement that all players be on the field for the Anthem."
  • Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room or in a similar location off the field until after the Anthem has been performed."
  • "A club will be fined by the League if its personnel are on the field and do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."
  • "Each club may develop its own work rules, consistent with the above principles, regarding its personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."
  • "The Commissioner will impose appropriate discipline on league personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem."
