After President Donald Trump’s comments over the weekend about how NFL players who protest the national anthem should be fired, we watched players, coaches, and entire teams participate in a mass #TakeaKnee protest during Sunday and Monday’s games.
Celebrities quickly showed their support of the movement, but some took it a step further by taking a knee themselves. See the powerful photos above.
