Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson expressed Monday his desire to see Browns players stand for the playing of the national anthem before games.
"The national anthem means a lot," he said, as tweeted by Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. "I hope that won't happen here (someone sitting)."
Jackson also said every player has the right to protest during "The Star-Spangled Banner," per the Akron Beacon Journal's Nate Ulrich.
Colin Kaepernick first brought the topic to the forefront when he sat down as the national anthem played before a San Francisco 49ers preseason game.
