Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said he plans on kneeling during the national anthem this season as a means of protesting police brutality and systemic racism.
Team owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam are OK with that.
"One of the great things about this country, one of the many great things, is the ability to have freedom of speech and being able to express yourself," Jimmy Haslam said on a video call, per Tom Withers of the Associated Press. "So we are going to support our players."
Withers noted Mayfield said he plans on kneeling this season when asked about it before Friday's first practice of training camp.
