In the hooplah of the Super Bowl champion Eagles returning to play, I had almost forgotten that the anthem was a thing that we were going to have to pay attention to. Regardless, things went about as you would have expected for the notable Philadelphians.
Malcolm Jenkins had his fist raised for the anthem—something he did for a good portion of last season, though he stopped that particular demonstration because he felt as if he had done well to draw awareness to the issues that spurred on his protest in the first place.
