Jacksonville Jaguars President Mark Lamping sent a letter of apology to Jacksonville Director of Military Affairs Chief Bill Spann on Oct. 6 apologizing for Jaguars players kneeling during the playing of the national anthem last month.
Lamping specifically apologized for the Sept. 24 game against the Baltimore Ravens in London, which saw several Jags players protest during the U.S. anthem, while all of them stood for "God Save the Queen," according to ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco.
DiRocco provided the text from the letter, which was forwarded from Spann to Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry:
"It bears repeating that we were in remiss in not fully comprehending the effect of the national anthem demonstration occurring on foreign soil has had on the men and women who have or continue to serve our country.
