More 49ers join Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid in National Anthem demonstration

The San Francisco 49ers are back in action, and the pre-game National Anthem protest continues to slowly grow. Jaquiski Tartt and Rashard Robinson held a fist in the air, and Quinton Patton bowed his head, according to the beat writers on hand. Last week saw Antoine Bethea and Eli Harold join Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid. They continued this week. It is not a huge number, but it grows little by little.
