On Monday night, Cleveland Browns tight end Seth DeValve became the first white NFL player to protest during the national anthem when he kneeled before the team's preseason game against the New York Giants.
Nearly a dozen players on the Browns knelt during the anthem and others on the team put their arms around their teammate in a sign of solidarity. It is the largest protest by a single team seen this season.
DeValve's kneel comes just one week after Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett called for white players to participate in the national anthem protest.
