Some 18 NFL players demonstrated during or after the national anthem at Sunday’s games, according to The Associated Press. While not a significant increase, it’s significant because they’re protesting despite a league agreement to fund player activism efforts.
Three players for the San Francisco 49ers and three Miami Dolphins took a knee during their respective games. Seven players on the Seattle Seahawks took a knee or sat during the anthem. Players on the Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans, Oakland Raiders, the Los Angeles Chargers, and New York Giants also took part in the protests.
