Tennessee Titans Who Protested the National Anthem
The Tennessee Titans have been deemed one of the most unpatriotic teams in the NFL. In week 3, the entire team decided in unity (no unity with the fans) to stay in the locker room and boycotted the National Anthem. After the National Anthem concluded, they then came out to the field and were rightfully showered with boos from the fans. Therefore in unity, the entire Tennessee Titans roster shall be included in this list for protesting the National Anthem.

WEEK 3:
The entire Tennessee Titans team and everyone on the list above, boycotted the National Anthem at home against the Seattle Seahawks. The Titans remained in the locker room until the conclusion of the National Anthem, as did the entire Seattle Seahawks team.
The Titans released a statement: "As a team, we wanted to be unified in our actions today. ... The players jointly decided this was the best course of action. Our commitment to the military and our community is resolute and the absence of our team for the national anthem shouldn't be misconstrued as unpatriotic.". Obviously the words of the Titans do not match their actions.
