Rams' Kenny Britt and Robert Quinn join national anthem protest


Rams wide receiver Kenny Britt and defensive end Robert Quinn held their right fists in the air during the national anthem Monday night, in apparent solidarity with San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who knelt along with teammate Eric Reid on the 49ers sideline. The Rams experienced a backlash from that protest, with the St. Louis Police Officers Assn. Though Rams Coach Jeff Fisher hasn’t placed any restrictions on his players this season, he probably wasn’t pleased with the actions of Britt and Quinn. Fisher’s reverence for the anthem was made clear in “Hard Knocks,” HBO’s reality series about the team. Gabbert scrambled for runs of five yards and 11 yards on the 49ers’ first touchdown drive in the first quarter.
