Because some wanted to stand and some wanted to take a knee I guess. Tomlin said "they shouldn't have to choose," which was odd. Why not?
Several players from teams that decided to not even come out for the National Anthem told me they did not want that.

This bothered me too. But it means we're entering the next phase of protest: people pointedly remaining neutral always comes first.
-
To expand on this: "We're remaining neutral" is a step in the right direction from "We're pretending this isn't an issue."
-
It's adjacent to "We're in agreement with the protesters," with the caveat of "This isn't entirely up to us because so much $$ is involved."
-
Which is the only thing that stops MOST allies from actually joining the fray: the fear of losing personal, financial, and social stability.
-
So don’t stop being frustrated and angry, but don’t lose hope: there’s reinforcements on the way.

Why do we need the national anthem at ball games? I don't get it. Just go out on the field/court/rink and play your game.
