The protest action of Kipper Nick and Lead in San Diego was consistent with the annual "Army of Honor" by Chargers.

A silent protest shouted by distraction and anger, and the slogan inside the crowd said: "You are an American, just like a person."

On the left side of Kaepernick is the original green beret, Nate Boyer Last year, I went to a training camp with a long squid with Seahawks last year.

After a long conversation with his quarterback, Boyer wrote an open letter to Kapnik earlier this week. He posted 2 photos on Twitter. "Let's move, that's what the United States should do"

In Auckland before fighting Raiders in Seattle, Ryan was sitting on the bench behind his teammate. Ryan said he did not know Capernic, but he said "behind him."

"This is what I plan to do until I feel that justice has been treated," Ryan said. "No, please do not tell anyone, I did it ... I do not mean that I do not respect anyone, but I am just standing in believing."

Colin Kaepernick: Immediately after commencing protest action in 2016, Kaepernick promised to donate one million dollars to various organizations to concentrate on the support of oppressed people. In January 2018, Kaepernick achieved the target. One hundred of 100 suits, Lower East Side women's club, 41 charitable groups including the police reform community consortium, 1 million dollars. He also funded a free "know your right" camp worldwide. Eric Lead: Lead gave Kaepernick the Otsuka International Conscientious Ambassador's Award in 2018, and then they held a "Know Your Rights" camp for Amsterdam youth. Reed has made his own foundation to provide people in poor communities the tools they need to grow to leaders. His website also said he is planning to build a homeless shelter in his hometown Baton Rouge.

When the protest action began with alternative San Francisco quarterback, Colin Kernik, he did not have knees and was still sitting during the national anthem. When his teammate Ericrid wanted to participate in his protest, they developed a strategy to change what they did to express their respect for the national anthem but present their views . Even Nate Boyer 's visit, the retired green Beret cap, even former NF L. players considered carefully and concluded that instead of sitting as a national anthem of peaceful protests, we should knea the next day. Because it is a gesture of respect, we chose to kneel. I remember that our attitude is like a flag to jump over the half flag to commemorate the tragedy.
