WEEK 3:
10 New Orleans Saints players sat on the bench in protest and refused to rise for the National Anthem: Adrian Peterson, Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara, Brandon Coleman, Cameron Jordan, Sheldon Rankins, Alex Okafor, Kenny Vaccaro, Rafael Bush, and Chris Banjo. This is the first protest by the New Orleans Saints this season. The large protest comes in response to President Donald Trump's criticism of players who refuse to stand for the National Anthem, which he and most Americans believe is a show of disrespect to the nation and to those who fought and died for it.
