Seahawks DE Michael Bennett became the latest NFL player to sit for the national anthem, ahead of Sundays preseason game against the Chargers. He referenced the still unsigned Colin Kaepernick of whom Bennett has said, of course hes being blackballed, but Bennett said this weekends white supremacy rally in Charlottesville and accompanying violence is what spurred him to act. Seeing everything in Virginia. I just wanted to be able to use my platform to continuously speak out on injustice, Bennett said. Bennett remained on the bench with a towel over his shoulders during the playing of the anthem in Los Angeles, rising to join his teammates after the song finished. Bennett said he will continue to sit for the anthem this season, joining other players like Marshawn Lynch, who did so during the Raiders preseason game on Saturday. From a personal standpoint, the protests, kicked off by Kaepernick last year, have been useful in helping me question my own assumptions about the anthems place, and making me kick myself for not questioning them sooner. Why do we play the anthem before sporting events, and not, say, plays or movieswhat does football have to do with America Why do we stand at allshould we be paying unthinking fealty to a nation that so often doesnt have its citizens best interests in mind One particularly disingenuous connectionthat the anthem before NFL games somehow has anything to do with the militaryis often made to criticize protestors, but Bennett knocked that idea down. First of all I want to make sure people understand I love the military my father was in the military, Bennett said. I love hot dogs like any other American. I love football like any other American. But I dont love segregation, I dont love riots, I dont love oppression.

I dont love gender slander. I just want to see people have the equality that they deserve and I want to be able to use this platform to continuously push the message and keep finding out how unselfish we can be in society, how we can continuously love one another and understand that people are different. And just because people are different doesnt mean that you shouldnt like them. Just because they dont eat what you eat, just because they dont pray to the same God you pray to doesnt mean you should hate them. Whether it is Muslim, whether it is Buddhist, whether it is Christianity, I just want people to understand that no matter what, we need to stay together. Its more about being a human being at this point. If you find yourself offended by anything there, well, that says more about you than you think it does about Bennett.
