In 2016, Colin Kaepernick started a political controversy of kneeling for the [[national anthem]] that is played before football games, in which players of his own team, the whole [[Miami Dolphins]] team, and even Brandon Marshall from the [[Denver Broncos]] joined him in doing so. Not only that but players from the [[Carolina Panthers]], [[Oakland Raiders]], [[Philadelphia Eagles]], [[St. Louis Rams]], [[San Diego Chargers]] and [[Tennessee Titans]] raised right arms in the air as a symbol of "black power", which was ultimately traced back to Kaepernick.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000691077/article/colin-kaepernick-explains-why-he-sat-during-national-anthem|title=Colin Kaepernick explains why he sat during national anthem|work=NFL.com|date=Aug 27, 2016}}</ref> The NFL did not take action against these protests.

Additionally, in 2017, players from every team in the NFL except for the [[Minnesota Vikings]], [[Chicago Bears]], [[Houston Texans]], [[New York Jets]], [[Arizona Cardinals]], [[Cincinnati Bengals]], and [[Dallas Cowboys]] (who knelt before the anthem but all stood up once it came on) have protested against the national anthem.
