NFL 2016: National Anthem Protests (Drew McKenzie, Sportspress Northwest)
San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick brought his protest against racial inequality to a nationally televised Monday Night Football audience, kneeling on the field rather than standing as the national anthem played. Other players joined the African-American athlete who has ignited a furor within the National Football League through an act of defiance he introduced during pre-season games.
49ers vs Rams Players in Protest
Opening day in the NFL saw Kansas City cornerback Marcus Peters raise a black-gloved fist during the national anthem, a protest amplified later Sunday when four Miami Dolphins kneeled on the sideline with hands on their hearts as "The Star Spangled Banner" played in Seattle
