Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said that he plans to kneel during the national anthem this upcoming NFL season to support the ongoing protests of police brutality, social injustice and racism. On Saturday, a fan asked Mayfield on Instagram not to kneel, but the quarterback replied by saying, “Pull your head out. I absolutely am.″ He heard a lot of criticism about his response, but when he explained his reason for it, he mentioned what former NFL player and Green Beret Nate Boyer told Colin Kaepernick in 2016. If I lose fans, that’s OK. I’ve always spoken my mind. “My position is I want to make sure I support our players,” Stefanski said.
