Several NFL players across the league have joined San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick since he began a pregame protest of racial oppression and inequality in the United States by sitting down during the national anthem before a preseason game, then kneeling during the anthem in Week 1. Here are the players who protested in Week 17:
quote:
Los Angeles Rams: Defensive end Robert Quinn raised his right fist during the national anthem before Sunday's game against the Cardinals, as has been his custom since the start of the regular season. Quinn said he will continue to do so regardless of whatever backlash he receives on social media. Said Quinn: "People have the right to voice their opinion. It’s up to you whether you listen to it or not. If people feel bad or feel upset about making a stand, that’s their personal opinion and judgment. At the end of the day, I’m just standing up for what I believe is right." -- Alden Gonzalez
Seattle Seahawks: Seahawks players linked arms during the anthem before Sunday's game against the 49ers, just as they’ve done for every regular-season game this season. -- Sheil Kapadia
San Francisco 49ers: As they have all season, quarterback Colin Kaepernick, outside linebacker Eli Harold and safety Eric Reid knelt during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality in the United States. -- Nick Wagoner
San Diego Chargers: Before Sunday's game against the Chiefs, offensive linemen Joe Barksdale, D.J. Fluker and Chris Hairston once again raised their fists during the national anthem. -- Eric D. Williams
Miami Dolphins: Wide receiver Kenny Stills and safety Michael Thomas knelt for the anthem before the Dolphins' game against the Patriots on Sunday. They've done so for every game this season. -- James Walker
Tennessee Titans: Following the national anthem sung before the Titans' game against the Texans on Sunday, linebacker Wesley Woodyard and defensive linemen Jurrell Casey, Al Woods and DaQuan Jones all raised a fist in the air. -- Paul Kuharsky
Philadelphia Eagles: Safety Malcolm Jenkins raised a fist over his head during the national anthem before Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He has been protesting since Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. Cornerback Ron Brooks once joined him, but he has not been present on the sideline the past 10 games after undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured quad tendon. In early November, Jenkins discussed at length his reasons for protesting. -- Tim McManus

I'm sure they'll all be invited to the White House in the next three weeks.

Does this really count? It's pretty common for players to put their helmet up and was long before Kaepernick came along

All this stuff from these NFL players has done nothing to make it any better. Who would have thought a bunch of guys that play a game for a living would be clueless on how to put forth an argument and a persuasive message? It's shocking. Just shocking.

Dude, no one cares anymore

I find that the people who hate that this gets attention are often the only reason I even know it is happening.

I agree. Ignore it and it goes away.
