Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall used Instagram Wednesday morning to outline his plan to benefit the Denver community through charitable efforts.
After meeting with Denver Police Chief Robert White Tuesday afternoon, Marshall posted a photo of himself with White and a lengthy caption detailing his rationale and his efforts going forward.
Marshall said taking a knee during the national anthem before Denver's season-opening victory over the Carolina Panthers wasn't meant to offend anyone, but "to take a stand against social injustice" and "raise awareness and create some dialogue toward affecting positive change in our communities."
He said he has taken time to "reflect on important issues such as race and gender equality, the treatment of our military veterans, our relationship with law enforcement, educational opportunities for our youth, and many more.
