NFL players continued to protest the national anthem on Thursday night as the league began its first full week of the 2018 preseason.
Some players held their fists in the air, while others decided to kneel, despite the controversy surrounding the action.
Wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson, both of the Miami Dolphins, kneeled during The Star-Spangled Banner, ahead of their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Miami Herald reported.
Dolphins, raised his fist. Philadelphia Eagles Malcolm Jenkins, who plays safety, and De'Vante Bausby, a cornerback, also raised their fists, according to The Philadelphia Inquire
Defensive end Michael Bennett walked out of the tunnel as the anthem played and "spent the anthem walking toward the bench," the news outlet reported. Teammate Chris Long reportedly "placed his arm around Jenkins' shoulder" during the song.

i thought they would hide in the locker room.
The NFL is a circus where the clowns have numbers on their shirts.
These highly paid fools haven’t learned a thing from last year. Ratings are going to be worst than last year. Roger Goodell will still collect his $40 million for being such a great commissioner.
Note that their point of protesting is completely lost - they don’t even care about their “cause” they just want to be noticed.
F’em - done with the NFL.
Thanks Obama...This all started in Ferguson.
Scaled back my NFL viewing last year a lot. Flipping through the stations I would pause from time to time. Won’t pause this year.
I doubt any one of these NFL players will suffer any consequences, as they unlike most of us, who would be fired if we protested the National Anthem while on the clock.
Did you see anything? I didn’t see anything...
Turn it off, dont buy tickets, dont go.

Like most of young America.. They have no appreciation for what they have, and what they could lose. It’s all about having the moment. I hope it’s worth it to them. But they don’t even know why they are doing it.
Anything (anything) NFL.
TABOO = team jerseys, caps, anything.
Sad to say...
If you wear NFL, you are kneeling!
I grew up a Browns fan. We haven’t seen football in years...
Who gives a hoot.
They could have polar bear hunts in the stands before every game and homo sex during the coin flip for all I care. I won’t be watching or caring.
Haven’t seen a game in a few years, wont go out of my way now. But if I had the spare time it’d be a cold day in hell when I watch soccer.
