———8:30 p.m.Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat during the national anthem before Sunday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys, as he has done routinely this season. Ten Seattle Seahawks players either knelt or sat for "The Star-Spangled Banner." Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began sitting and later kneeling during the national anthem last season to protest racial injustice. The Rams had much less drama with Seattle, racing out to a 34-0 halftime lead and cruising to a five-touchdown win. Ten Seattle Seahawks players knelt or sat for the national anthem before their home game against the Rams, among 17 players protesting this week.
