The announcement marks a definitive stance on a contentious issue that has sparked widespread debate across the NFL and beyond.
Kraft’s decision was communicated through a press release and during a brief media appearance, where he emphasized the importance of honoring the national anthem as a unifying gesture of respect and patriotism. βOur fans, players, and the community value the traditions that bring us together,β Kraft said. βWe are committed to upholding the respect for our national anthem and ensuring that Gillette Stadium remains a place where all can come together to celebrate the game we love.β
The announcement follows a period of heightened tension and discussion surrounding anthem protests, which began in 2016 when former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt during the anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality. The issue has since polarized public opinion, leading to various responses from team owners, players, and fans.
