If you thought players would stop their national anthem protests
once the regular season started, you thought wrong.
Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters refused to stand during the
playing of the national anthem prior to the NFL’s season opener
between the Chiefs and Patriots Thursday night. Peters instead
opted to sit on the Chiefs’ bench.
Prior to the game, Peter shared an image of custom cleats with
the message "LIBERTY" on the bottom of one cleat and "JUSTICE
FOR ALL" on the bottom of the other.
"Stand for what you stand in," Peters wrote. "If you see the
potential for good, speak up. Don’t be Quiet."
It's unclear if Peters wore those cleats during the game.
This isn’t the first time Peters has protested during the
national anthem. Last season, Peters raised his right fist
during the national anthem prior to the Chiefs’ Week 2 game
against the Chargers -- a game which was played on Sept. 11.
“I was just stating how I’m black, and I love being black, (and)
I’m supporting Colin in what he’s doing as far as raising
awareness with the justice system,” Peters told The Kansas City
Star at the time. “But I didn’t mean anything (bad) by it.”
Several players protested during the national anthem throughout
this year’s preseason, including Michael Bennett, Marshawn Lynch
and a number of Browns players.
No other player was seen protesting during the national anthem
prior to Thursday’s game.
