The year-long political protests plaguing the NFL continued during the league’s disastrous second week, with multiple players from at least three teams making overt demonstrations during the performance of the US national anthem.

Two players from the Miami Dolphins kneeled during the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ during their face-off against the New York Jets, while two Denver Broncos athletes stayed in the locker room and one Oakland Raiders player simply sat during the anthem.

 

The NFL continues to struggle with sagging ratings and furious fans as professional athletes take their protests into their third straight season.
