Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall will begin standing for the national anthem again, he announced on his Instagram page.
Marshall, who had been kneeling for the anthem to voice concerns over racial inequality and police violence, wrote that his recent meeting with Denver police was productive and while everything isn’t “perfect,” he thinks standing can provide “hope.”
“I’m encouraged with the many productive discussions and progress that has taken place as the Denver Police department has decided to review its use of force policy,” he wrote. “I’m proud to have joined so many of my peers throughout sports who’ve also made their own statements.
