    The NFL did not take a formal roll-call vote when it passed its new national anthem resolution that will take effect this season, league spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed Thursday.

    Instead, the league called for a show of owners' hands to test support of the new policy -- an unofficial process that is often used, McCarthy said. There were zero nays, he said.
    "That was considered a vote," McCarthy said.

    Sources told ESPN's Seth Wickersham that league officials wanted to make sure that the resolution would not fail, and so after hours of debate they called for the show of hands. The informal nature of it surprised some in the room. Not taking an official tally is atypical for a major resolution.

    Later Thursday, Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis confirmed what Wickersham reported earlier -- that he abstained from the vote. Davis would not comment further about why he abstained, saying he wanted to speak with his players first before going public with his rationale.

    "I haven't changed my mind," Davis told ESPN's Paul Gutierrez, referring to his feelings on the matter. McCarthy did not immediately return a request for comment.

    NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday the vote was "unanimous" among owners, although San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York said he abstained

    So it appears that the contard rejoicing -- just like it was with the aborted Nobel Peace Prize -- is a bit premature? Good research, btw, thanks.

    Au topsy is using that old standby "the best defense is a good offense." Just like trump.
