The subject of sitting during the National Anthem to stage a protest against racial inequality has been a hot topic of debate for the last two weeks, first beginning with San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, and then extending to his teammate Eric Reid and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane the following week. How many more players may join them this week remains to be seen, but is it possible there will be at least 52 additional NFLers protesting during the anthem on Sunday — all Lane’s teammates on the Seahawks?
Reports about that are conflicting, to say the least.
