Panthers' Eric Reid continues national anthem protest, kneels before game vs. Giants

When former San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid signed with the Carolina Panthers last month, everyone wanted to know if he would continue to protest during the national anthem by taking a knee on the sidelines.

Reid was the first person to join former teammate Colin Kaepernick in his protest during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

That question was answered Sunday, before the Panthers' home game against the New York Giants.

Below is the AP wire story on Reid's protest:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Panthers safety Eric Reid knelt during the national anthem in protest of racial and social injustice before Sunday's game against the New York Giants.
