The NFL would prefer the players’ now-ubiquitous protests take a back seat to the action this season, but it looks like the league won’t get its wish.
If anything, the players seem ready to take their social critique beyond sitting during the national anthem.
Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett, who is among the ranks of NFL players to sit during the anthem, celebrated a sack Sunday afternoon with a single raised fist.
Bennett was the first Seattle player announced during pregame introductions before the home opener against the 49ers and ****received one of the loudest ovations.**** (NFL fans are becoming pretty much anti-American)
Then he took what’s become his usual seat on the bench during the national anthem.
Protesters supporting Bennett, who says he was subjected to racial profiling and excessive force when Las Vegas police detained him last month, gathered outside the stadium.

If you’re looking at the pic in #12, it’s the same guy. Left hand is not over heart though. He’s holding his pads.
Sorry, I misinterpreted. These narcissistic ball game players are so far above the rest of us amd I forget to worship them properly. Black Lies Matter. I keep telling myself that.
No,
They think it is all about color,
It’s really all about culture.
And people are getting, if not gotten, sick of it already.
The Emmys are a good example.
Sick of Hollywood values being push upon us.
Less and less are buying it.
I think we agree, it is the bad behavior, not the color.
At least Bennett actually can play his position and not be incompetent while on the field.
Britt's job is to be the center and lead the o-line.
He actually screws the Seahawks because he sucks on AND off the field.
If Britt was some kind of all-pro center he could get away with it.
But he's a big part one of the worst o-lines in the league.
Wouldn't surprise me much if the o-line lets Russell Wilson get severely injured, because of their incompetence.
THEN how will he feel about his support of Bennett?
Even easier, Goodell could tell the NFL and the announcers to STFU and stop broadcasting these morons on TV.
I start screaming every time some sideline reporter shows footage of the a-holes protesting.
Stop giving the protesters airtime and watch them dry up.
The only people who would then know of the tantrums would be the fans at the game.
