Patriots anthem protests: New England captain James White says 'I’m sure we’ll figure something out as a team’

Though the Patriots have no set plan in place, on a video call with reporters on Thursday, team captain James White said they’d discuss it together and go from there.

“I’m sure we’ll figure something out as a team," White said. "Not sure exactly that will be, but I’m sure guys will peacefully protest in some way.”
