No one's made a thread on this yet? After Hue Jackson discouraged them from doing it too :whoo:

Browns players kneel during National Anthem

Several Cleveland Browns players took a knee during Monday night's National Anthem according to Mary Kay Cabot.

Linebacker Jamie Collins, running back Duke Johnson, tight end Seth DeValve, running back Isaiah Crowell and wide receiver Kenny Britt were among the group. Quarterback DeShone Kizer placed his hands on a few during the protest


Earlier in the week, Jackson made the claim that he did not want his players to protest the National Anthem.

The protest originated in 2016 when San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee to protest police brutality and the racial divide.

Crowell is in interesting participant in the protest. Last July, he posted an insensitive picture on Instagram illustrating a policeman.

Skirmishes in Charlottesville and Boston likely incited the group's decision to protest. None of the players took a knee during the preseason opener against the New Orleans Saints. White supremacists and anti-protesters clashed in both locations.
