Bucs’ Mike Evans Kneels During Anthem To Protest Trump Election

America’s only hope, according to Buccaneers’ receiver Mike Evans, is “When Ashton Kutcher comes out and says we’ve been punked.” Forget that Kutcher stopped doing that show in 2012 — Evans is pissed that Donald Trump is the President-elect, and now we’ve got a brand new National Anthem controversy.

Perfect. Just what we needed.

Evans, the record-setting wide receiver from Texas A&M who has more than 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in three seasons for Tampa Bay, sat during the National Anthem on Sunday, in protest of the Presidential results. Whatever your politics, his quote is as entertaining as the highlights of his finest catches.
