Protests during the national anthem have become widespread in recent weeks, but so has the backlash that has followed.
On Monday, Nebraska Cornhuskers linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey described the responses he has received since kneeling for the national anthem, per ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg:
Some believe DaiShon, Mohamed and myself should be kicked off the team or suspended, while some said we deserved to be lynched or shot like the other black people who have died recently. Another believed that since we didn't want to stand for the anthem that we should be hung before the anthem at the next game.
