Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase told the media earlier this week that he was staying out of the whole national anthem protest thing but three players made sure that it would remain a topic of discussion. Albert Wilson joined Kenny Stills as they took a knee for the anthem while Robert Quinn held a fist in the air.
In Philadelphia two players raised fists and a member of the 49’ers did the same. Four Jacksonville Jaguar players remained in the locker room for the anthem. The NFL sent out disciplinary guidlines to all teams during the off-season but later the NFL and the NFLPA announced that they would be working together on the issue after the NFLPA threatened an injunction.
