Broncos' Brandon Marshall loses another sponsorship after anthem protest

Many NFL players have taken part in Colin Kaepernick's protest, but Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall appears to have been hit the hardest for it.

Not too long after he took a knee during the national anthem Thursday night, Air Academy Federal Credit Union dropped him as a sponsor. On Monday, CenturyLink became the second sponsor to cut ties with the linebacker.

"We completely respect Brandon Marshall's personal decision and right to take an action to support something in which he strongly believes. America is anchored in the right of individuals to express their beliefs," CenturyLink said in a statement.
