NFL Adopts National Anthem Policy and League Approves Panthers Purchase,
Rockets Tie Up Series with Warriors and ESPN Secures Deal with UFC
All 32 NFL team owners have approved a new policy
requiring players to stand for the national anthem. Teams are subject to a fine
if players or personnel on the field do not stand, and teams can then fine
individual players or personnel for the infraction. NFL commissioner Roger
Goodell said in a statement:
“This season,
all league and team personnel shall stand and show respect for the flag and the
Anthem. Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker
room until after the Anthem has been performed.”
The NFL has
unanimously approved hedge fund manager David Tepper’s $2.2 billion USD
purchase of the Carolina Panthers. The AP reports that despite implying a possible relocation of the team to
another city in the Carolinas, Tepper affirmed they would stay in Charlotte.
“There is a
logical place for this team, and it’s Charlotte.”
The Houston
Rockets tied up their series with the Golden State Warriors last night,
securing a narrow victory of 95-93. Factors in the win were James Harden’s
scoring 30 points the team’s impressive defence as praised by coach Mike D’Antoni,
quoted in the Associated Press:
“I thought
this is the highest level we’ve ever played defensively, without a doubt,” Rockets
coach Mike D’Antoni said, “because we’re talking about the best offensive team
ever.”
ESPN reports that they have agreed to a five-year deal with
the UFC, bringing “the mixed-martial arts league's entire rights package” to
the network in 2019.
“The deal
consists of 30 UFC Fight Night events per year, including 10 main cards on
ESPN's television networks. The other 20 will stream on ESPN+, the company's
newly launched streaming service.”
