Report: Raiders' all African-American O-line to protest during anthem
by from on (#332TN)
The Oakland Raiders' entire starting offensive line intend to sit or kneel as a group during Sunday's U.S. national anthem before their game against Washington Redskins, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Raiders' offense line - Donald Penn, Kelechi Osemele, Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson, and Marshall Newhouse - is the only all African-American unit in the league.
The decision to protest comes in the wake of Donald Trump's criticism of players who protest, with the president calling for those who demonstrate to be "fired."
