NFL owners and officials are aiming to change the league’s rules for the upcoming 2018 season about how teams handle the national anthem.

Some owners are considering a change that would possibly keep players in the locker room when the “Star-Spangled Banner” is played before games, the Washington Post reported. It comes amid boycotts and backlash over players protesting during the playing of the anthem.
