Vince McMahon on New XFL: It’d Be ‘Appropriate’ to Make Players Stand for National Anthem
NFL-alternative The XFL is set to kick off (again) in 2020, and visionary Vince McMahon wants to see all of his players stand and salute the flag during the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
As a matter of fact, he’s considering making that a rule.
“I think, again, it’s a time-honored tradition to stand and appreciate the national anthem with any sport,” the WWE boss told TheWrap. “Here in America — for that matter, in any country…so I think it’d be appropriate to do that.”

McMahon’s comments will be music to President Trump’s ears, who lambasted NFL players earlier this season for kneeling during the anthem.
