Still, some attendees 地位,任命するd accounts of the visit on social マスコミ, 含むing ビデオ of Kaepernick speaking to a (人が)群がる Thursday several hours before the 広告 空気/公表するd.
"You have to think beyond what you see arou nd you," said Kaepernick, who hasn't spoken to the マスコミ 公然と since 選ぶing out of his 契約 with San Francisco and becoming a 解放する/自由な スパイ/執行官 in 2017.
"You have to see the 未来 that you believe in and that you want not just for yourself but all the people you see globally," he said.
Kaepernick's を取り引きする Nike for the 30th 周年記念日 of the "Just Do It" (選挙などの)運動をする was the most polarizing 問題/発行する in sports this week, 誘発するing heated 審議 on several topics 含むing 競技者s 抗議するing social 不正 and Nike wading into political waters. Some fans 答える/応じるd to Kaepernick's 後援 取引,協定 by cutting or 燃やすing gear with Nike's 署名 swoosh logo. Others argued the (激しい)反発 and calls for a Nike ボイコット(する) showed how 審議 has morphed beyond how to 反応する to 競技者s trying to 最高潮の場面 問題/発行するs like racial 不平等 and police 狙撃s of 非武装の 少数,小数派s.

There were no (疑いを)晴らす-削減(する) 抗議するs as "The 星/主役にする-Spangled 旗,新聞一面トップの大見出し/大々的に報道する" played before the game with both teams on the field and the song broadcasted 国家的に.
Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins and 防御の end Michael Bennett were on the sideline and neither really 論証するd during the song. Jenkins and Bennett 定期的に have either knelt or stayed off the field during the 国家 to 抗議する social 不正 and racial 不平等. They have been の中で the most 声の 抗議する人s since Kaepernick began 類似の demonstrations in 2016. Jenkins stood with チーム仲間s while Bennett wandered behind them 近づく the Eagles (法廷の)裁判 and adjusted his 器具/備品.
Jenkins said he thinks players should 転換 the 焦点(を合わせる) of the 審議 away from the 国家 itself and 支援する to the 問題/発行するs they are trying to 最高潮の場面.

No Falcons players were absent from the sideline and 非,不,無 has 抗議するd in the 最近の past.
The 国家 has been a 特に 厄介な 問題/発行する for the NFL, 特に Trump 勧めるing owners to (法廷の)裁判 or 解雇する/砲火/射撃 players who 論証する. Players say their message has been misconstrued into something against the American 旗 or the 軍の.
Kaepernick's grievance against the league and team owners 告発する/非難するs owners of colluding to keep him off any roster. An 仲裁者 gave Kaepernick an incremental victory by 許すing the challenge to go to 裁判,公判.
Jenkins said Nike's 商業の is changing the 描写 of Kaepernick in the public 注目する,もくろむ.
"やめる 率直に, long after all of this is done (Kaepernick) will be looked at as somebody that changed this sport and changed the dynamics of all 競技者s in general in our country," Jenkins said.
The league and players union still 港/避難所't 解決するd whether players will be punished this season if they choose to ひさまづく or 論証する during the 国家. Owners 認可するd a 政策 要求するing players to stand if they are on the sideline during the song, 許すing them to stay off the field if they wish.
But the league and union put that on 持つ/拘留する after the Miami イルカs 直面するd (激しい)反発 for 分類するing the 抗議するs as 行為/行う 潜在的に detrimental to the team - putting players at 危険 of 罰金s or 中断s.
