Watch: Protesters Gather Outside NFL Meeting, Chant 'Take A Knee Against White Supremacy'

Protestors gathered outside of a meeting between the NFL's owners, players and union leaders to discuss the national anthem protests that have taken center stage during the season.

The meeting includes 12 active players, 11 owners and representatives from the NFL PA and league.

The protests started last season when former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to raise awareness on racial injustice in America. Kapernick was met with criticism as many, including President Donald Trump, view the move as a sign of disrespect to the flag and military. Kaepernick opted out of his contract in March and remains a free agent.
