Colin Kaepernick and San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid kneeled during the national anthem Thursday night, continuing the quarterback's preseason protest of American racial injustice and minority oppression. Domenique Banks, a 23-year-old fan from nearby Oceanside, California, got the quarterback to sign his Kaepernick jersey before the game. Kaepernick said he had invited teammates to sit with him during the anthem, but didn't expect any to join him. His invitation apparently was accepted by Reid, the 49ers' starting safety and a fourth-year veteran from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jim Brown voiced support for Kaepernick while disagreeing with his method of protest.
