Bengals players plan to protest during national anthem in Week 1, per report

If you thought Rodney Anderson was going to be the only one protesting during the national anthem for the Cincinnati Bengals this year, you haven’t been paying attention.

While the NFL will display the phrases “End Racism” and “It Takes All of Us” under the goal posts for Week 1, several Bengals players will be choosing their own form of protest during the anthem, be it kneeling, standing, or staying in the locker room. This was learned by Elise Jesse, formerly of WLWT.

I’ve had some interesting conversations over the last few days.
