The Protest
Lynch continued his protest after the wearing of the t-shirt. He sat out while the anthem was being played.
He was surrounded by the Raider’s staff. This made it difficult for anyone to get a photo of him. Nevertheless over head photos of him were still possible.
It looked as though he was hiding from the public eye. He certainly didn’t seem the same person that he was when he entered the stadium.
While some of the other players kneel, Lynch usually sits. It is a practice that he has taken.
The broncos chose to stand for the anthem.
What will Lynch’s protest with t-shirt and sitting cost him? Trump has promised to have those who refuse to stand fired.
Will he be able to do so? Could we be in for a Lynch vs. Trump scenario?
Kaepernick already lost his job from protesting, could Lynch be next? What about the other players who refuse to stand?
The matter is coming to a stage where it can cause serious problems for the game.
This isn’t what the fans want, but what can be done? Should the President back off and leave the NFL be?
Or should the all players stand and acknowledge the National Anthem?
