Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall knelt during the national anthem before Thursday night's 21-20 win over the Carolina Panthers, and his actions cost him an endorsement deal with the Air Academy Federal Credit Union.
In a statement posted on Facebook, Air Academy Federal Credit Union president and CEO Glenn Strebe explained the company's decision to part ways with Marshall:
Although we have enjoyed Brandon Marshall as our spokesperson over the past five months, Air Academy Federal Credit Union (AAFCU) has ended our partnership. AAFCU is a membership-based organization who has proudly served the military community for over 60 years.
