INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts tight end Dwayne Allen released a nearly 90-second video Tuesday explaining why he has consistently taken a knee toward the end of the national anthem throughout his career, after he received a number of hateful messages on Twitter.
Allen said he felt it was necessary to speak up following what he called some "misreported" information during the NBC television broadcast at the end of the national anthem prior to the Colts' game against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
"For every game of my career, I have taken a knee toward the end of our anthem," Allen said in the video on Colts.
