Seahawk Jeremy Lane says he plans to continue to sit during national anthem

Four days haven’t changed any of Jeremy Lane’s thoughts about sitting during the national anthem.

The Seahawks cornerback reiterated on Monday that he plans to continue to sit during the anthem for the foreseeable future as he did on Thursday at Oakland to show solidarity for 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Kaepernick sat during the national anthem in a game a on Aug. 19, saying he was protesting police treatment of African-Americans as well as oppression of people of color.

Lane then sat during the Seahawks-Raiders game Thursday.

Kaepernick and teammate Eric Reid kneeled during the anthem before a game at San Diego last Thursday.
