A group of Ravens players kneeled Sunday following President Donald Trump’s comments on the NFL, in which he said owners should fire players who kneel.
“We recognize our players’ influence,” Owner Steve Bisciotti stated. “We respect their demonstration and support them 100 percent. All voices need to be heard. That’s democracy in its highest form.”
The Ravens-Jaguars game kicked off from London’s Wembley Stadium at 9:30 a.m. ET, making it the first NFL game after the President’s remarks.
Former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who is in London as one of the team’s legends of the game, also knelt in the middle of the group.
