Head coach of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors is no fan of the new NFL anthem policy:
Steve Kerr on the NFL's new anthem rule: "Typical of the NFL. Appealing to their fanbase. Basically just trying to use the anthem as fake patriotism, nationalism. Idiotic."

Chaser…
But it’s the same policy as the NBA’s:
Excuse me Coach, doesn’t your league REQUIRE players to be on the court, standing for the national anthem? Careful with that glass house you’re throwing rocks from. https://t.co/rZRCG4F56M

LOL Steve Kerr have you read your own league's rules https://t.co/51iMvcWVBf

Umm, does Steve Kerr not know the NBA's national anthem policy? https://t.co/w7S6EiKEYz

From the Sporting News:
2) Players, coaches and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem.
And the league can take action against players who don’t follow the policy:
“The league office will determine how to deal with any possible instance in which a player, coach or trainer does not stand for the anthem.”
And can we note that both businesses — the NBA and NFL — are attempting to appeal to their customers. Since when is that a thing?
