Sunday was undoubtedly one of the most eventful game days for every team in the NFL. As many team photographers who would be documenting their team that day, I was anticipating what would possibly take place during the national anthem. Would one of our players kneel? Would players link arms? Would other players who didn’t kneel possibly show solidarity by placing a hand on the shoulder of a player who did kneel? Or would it be business as usual?
