NFL's Kaepernick kneels during performance of National Anthem, continuing protest
Sept 1 (Reuters) - San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt with his arms folded during the performance of the U.S. national anthem during a pre-season game in San Diego on Thursday, continuing his protest against racial injustice and police brutality.
Kaepernick, 28, has pledged to continue sitting during the performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" before National Football League games, a move that has been both criticized and cheered by commentators. (Reporting by Rory Carroll; Editing by Paul Tait)
