NFL Banning National Anthem in 2017-Fiction!

Summary of eRumor:
The NFL has announced that the singing of the National Anthem will be banned before games beginning in 2017.
The Truth:
Reports that the NFL is banning the National Anthem beginning in 2017 are false.
The rumors began spreading on social media in June 2016, but it’s not clear exactly where they started.
But we do know that the NFL hasn’t made any announcement that it will ban the National Anthem in 2017.
Besides that, NFL teams around the country like the Packers and Bills are already holding auditions for National Anthem singers in the 2017 season — so this rumor is clearly false.
