San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt again yesterday as the national anthem played before his team faced off against theTampa Bay Buccaneers, continuing hisprotest against injustices toward minorities and inspiring others to follow.
MiamiDolphins running back Arian Foster began kneeling during the pregame anthem on Sept.11 and has beena vocal supporter of Kaepernick ever since. I dont even think the song should be our national anthem, because its a racist song, if you look at the other verses of it, he toldVICE News correspondentJay Caspian Kang.
Even some high school football players have participated in the protest. I think its a beautiful thing,Foster said.
The movementshows no signs of slowing down, as similar protests have recently been made by cheerleaders, marching bands, and basketball teams. What would have to happen for me to stand for the national anthem? Foster asked himself. Honestly, man, Im not sure I will stand again.
