Redskins’ Adrian Peterson Says He Will Kneel During The National Anthem ‘Without A Doubt’

Numerous NFL players have taken part in protests across the country in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. There have been talks of whether or not we will see protests by players while the national anthem is played at games this season. One NFL player has already come out and said that they will be protesting this season.

Washington Redskins’ running back Adrian Peterson, when asked by the Houston Chronicle if he will protest this year he said, “Yeah, without a doubt, without a doubt.”

Peterson’s reasoning goes back to Colin Kaepernick when he first knelt during the national anthem in 2017. “Just four years ago, you’re seeing Kaepernick taking a knee, and now we’re all getting ready to take a knee together going into this season, without a doubt,” he said.

The NFL and league commissioner Roger Goodell posted a video on social media Friday saying that the league will support its players who choose to protest peacefully.
