In response to a fan’s reply on one of his posts hoping the Cleveland Browns quarterback won’t be kneeling during the national anthem, Mayfield indicated he will, telling the fan “pull your head out. I absolutely am.”

"Everybody so upset about my comment doesn’t understand the reasoning behind kneeling in the first place…Nate [Boyer] and Kap [Colin Kaepernick] came to an agreement that kneeling was the most respectful way to support our military while also standing up for equality,” Mayfield said. “I have the utmost respect for our military, cops, and people that serve OUR country. It’s about equality and everybody being treated the same because we are all human. It’s been ignored for too long and that is my fault as well for not becoming more educated and staying silent.

“If I lose fans, that’s okay. I’ve always spoken my mind. And that’s from the heart.”

The new professional sport is virtue signaling. And it's fricking miserable to watch.

He should be more worried about not living up to the hype.

Is this surprising that he dislikes cops?

He’s at the beginning of his career. At least he didn’t backtrack and cower like Drew Brees.

I've spoken to all 12 of Mayfield's fans, they are still on board despite kneeling.

BLM is probably like "Um, no thanks buddy. We don't need you kneeling. Nobody likes you already."

Basically every white guy is going to kneel either before or during our beautiful anthem. Probably every coach too - it will be like the pussies who play soccer.
