Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said he was unaware Lynch would sit for the anthem, but added that the two spoke afterward and described the running back's action as a "non-issue" to him.
"He said, 'This is something I've done for 11 years — it's not a form of anything other than me being myself,' " Del Rio said in a postgame news conference. "I said, 'So you understand how I feel, I very strongly believe in standing for the national anthem, but I'm gonna respect you as a man. You do your thing, OK, and we'll do ours.' "

That's the problem mob that so many ppl just can't seem to get thru their heads.
It's not about race.
It's bigger than that.
It's disrespecting your entire country. No matter what the color of the person is.
Easy to understand my friend...
Lmfaooo.
Look how worried and upset you guys are.
Why? Because he didn't show the respect that you think he needs to show? Bahahahhana
Do you know wherr Marshawn Lynch is from? You haven't seen or experienced the shit he has been through.
And didn't a KKK group just run over some black people?
And then I wonder where the fuck did the Black Panthers go when the KKK is still very prevalent. It's like the government weeded one group out and left the other lol. That's some real shit.
He's not disrespecting our country bro lol. THAT is the problem. People think automatically he's a piece of shit for doing this. Marshawn lynch is a good person. Do you honestly think he intentionally means to say fuck every veteran who has served this country? No man. These are other issues than that. Like a white supremacy group mowing down black people protesting.
Shit has nothing to do with the flag other than bringing light and respect to an issue that he feels needs addressing or some sort of homage.
It's always deeper than what people assume. And Marshawn Lynch not doing this for attention or anything. Dude is the realest person in sports today.
Plus what about all the times before games that he did stand up and put his hand over his heart and showed the respect you guys think he should show every single time during the Anthem.
Do those times not couny because he sat one time?
Lol just really think. He clearly means no disrespect to veterans and this is the first I've heard of this and I already don't take it to heart about the flag. But everyone else does immediately. Nigga has stood for the flag in every game but one so far lol. And people are outraged.
These are human beings. They have feelings just like you guys do.

We don't know since it hasn't happened yet, but I think it would be framed much differently. Similar to how when whites commit crimes they are described as misunderstood/social misfits while blacks are usually described as thugs.
But you can't jump to conclusions regarding whether people would have an issue yet since we don't know the facts.
Lol sorry I didn't catch myself up on the 12 pages on back and forth between u and Reno arguing about what the definition of terrorism is. I heard enough. KkK ran over black protesters. All I need to know. Don't care to hear anymore honestly.
Why is the KKK still around? Lol and the black panthers aren't? When black people stand up....they shoot it down immediately. That is why the KKK is still around and the black panthers are not.
