Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins hopes that Week 3’s explosion of activism is "not a one-week thing." Ben Roethlisberger regretted his decision to stay inside for the national anthem, saying, "I personally don’t believe the anthem is ever the time to make any type of protest." Members of the Cardinals and Cowboys also demonstrated on Monday Night Football, with Dallas kneeling as a team before the national anthem and the Cardinals linking arms during the song. For his part, President Donald Trump tweeted seven times on the topic on Monday, including a retweet of an image of Pat Tillman, the former NFL safety turned Army Ranger who was killed by friendly fire, in 2004, in Afghanistan (Tillman's widow responded via CNN's Brian Stelter).
