Raiders' Del Rio, Carr address Kaepernick's national anthem protest

ALAMEDA — Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said Monday he's never had any issues with players not standing during the national anthem but considers it an organizational expectation.

"It's never come to a point where I've had to address it, it's always been understood," Del Rio said. "You stand attention. You pay respect to our flag, our country. That's always been kind of an assumed thing."The national anthem debate has swarmed the NFL since Friday when 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick detailed his reasons for sitting during the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner," which he's done for all three preseason games this year.
