NFL Note - Tennessee Titans Casey, Jurrell
DT Jurrell Casey said he plans to protest the NFL's new national anthem policy and live with the potential consequences.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced in May that the league would enact a national anthem policy for the 2018 season that requires players and league personnel to either stand for the anthem or remain in the locker room. The policy subjects teams to a fine if a player or any other personnel do not show respect for the anthem. Casey's protest was to raise his fist after the playing of the national anthem the last two years and he indicated he will continue to do that. "I'm going to take my fine," the 28-year-old Casey said on Wednesday, via CNN. "It is what it is, I ain't going to let them stop me from doing what I want to do. If they want to have these battles between players and organizations, this is the way it's going to be.
