In an effort to raise awareness to social injustice and oppression amongst the African-American community, Colin Kaepernick began his protest during the preseason, and it’s turned into the biggest storyline in all of sports.
Many football players have joined Colin Kaepernick in protesting during the National Anthem, and Irvin and Smith are the latest to do so.
Scott Bair of CSN tweeted out pictures of both players raising their fists while the anthem played.
