MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) – Several NFL players took a knee, or raised a fist, in protest during the National Anthem before Thursday night’s pre-season games.
In Miami Gardens, Dolphins wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson knelt during the anthem before their game with Tampa Bay, defensive end Robert Quinn raised his fist during the song.
“Being part of this protest hasn’t been easy,” said Stills after the game. “I thought I was going to be by myself out there, I had an angel with me, with Albert being out there. I’m grateful that he sees what’s happening, he wants to stand up and do something about it as well.
