Well that didn't take Long ... Chiefs Cornerback Marcus Peters Sits During National Anthem

[Betallsports]

Chiefs Pro-Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters sat on the bench during the national anthem before his team's season-opener vs. the Patriots.


Peters, a first round pick out of Washington in 2015, has protested during the national anthem before—last season, he raised his fist during the national anthem and he rode a stationary bike during the anthem before a preseason game this year.


“I’m just stating that I’m black and I love being black,” Peters told reporters after he raised his fist. “I’m supporting Colin (Kaepernick) and what he’s doing as far as raising awareness with the justice system. I didn’t mean anything by it. I locked arms with my teammates. I talked with coach and coach said it was OK if I wanted to express my thoughts and so I just expressed it."


Here is a complete list of players who protested in some capacity during the national anthem this season.

Had to turn off NFL Net pregame show when Faulk Irvan and Warner started talking about how this is fantastic and the NFL was the greatest example of races working together

Warner knows better he has had a regular job

Theses guys are so out of touch with the real world they don't think Whites Blacks and Hispanics and LBGT all work together every day

sad but very true!! I have not seen any one group down here consisting of blacks offering support. By that I mean, actual non profit organizations or any other group.

You hear about a looting in a house while a lady body was floating in her own home...fukn pathetic.

 

[DesertNole]

Yep, spot on.

 

[bilbal]

I hope when this POS needs the police, that the police take a knee instead.

 

[Shub]

But everybody here for the most part contributes to the NFL lol
