And STILL, They Defy, Dishonor And Disrespect . . .

Contrary to popular belief, the NFL players' Dishonor America Campaign has not abated. In fact, it continued yesterday.
Here's a rundown of the teams and how the leading culprits behaved yesterday:

Philadelphia Eagles: Malcolm Jenkins continued raising his first above his head during the national anthem. Rodney McLeod joined him by raising a fist. Chris Long placed an arm around Jenkins as a sign of support.

Kansas City Chiefs: Marcus Peters, Albert Wilson and Ukeme Eligwe and Tanoh Kpassagnon sat for the national anthem. Peters has not stood for the anthem yet this season.

Los Angeles Rams: Robert Quinn raised his right fist in the air and Johnny Hekker wrapped his arm around his waist in support, as has been the case for most of this season.

Indianapolis Colts: The Colts wore their black T-shirts with the words “We Will” on the front and “Stand for equality, justice, unity, respect, dialogue, opportunity” on the back for the second straight week. The players stood with their arms locked during the national anthem.

San Francisco 49ers: One of the worst offenders (and the place where it all began) the 49ers had more than 20 players kneeling during the national anthem with hands over their hearts. Their teammates again stood behind them with one hand on a kneeling teammate’s shoulder and the other over their hearts.

Oakland Raiders: Marshawn Lynch remained seated during the national anthem. He was wearing a Raiders beanie and was surrounded by Raiders staff members. Lynch has not said why he has remained seated during the national anthem since joining the Raiders. He wore a T-shirt before last week's game that read "EVERYBODY -VS- TRUMP."

Tennessee Titans: Rishard Matthews remained in the locker room during the national anthem for the second straight week, coming out on the field after the performance concluded. All Titans who were on the field for the anthem stood.

Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins as a team stood for the national anthem on the sideline before Sunday's game against the Titans. But Kenny Stills, Michael Thomas and Julius Thomas remained in the tunnel or locker room until the anthem was complete.

New York Giants: Olivier Vernon knelt during the national anthem. Keenan Robinson raised his fist in the air. The rest of the Giants locked arms.
