Colin Kaepernick thanked a pair of Miami Dolphins players for taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem prior to the first game of the NFL regular season Sunday. In addition to Stills and Watson's protest, Dolphins defensive end Robert Quinn raised a fist during the anthem. Cameron Grant‏ @coolcambackup tweeted: “I respect Colin Kaepernick and NFL players right to protest every day of the week, but not an NFL field. Last NFL regular season, ratings were down nearly 10 percent. That included Malcolm Jenkins, who raised his fist during the anthem last season but did not for the opener.
