As the protests around the country have continued in response to the murder of George Floyd, the NFL is changing its tune on players kneeling during the National Anthem.
The Atlanta Falcons were one of the few franchises to clearly support their players’ right to peacefully protest when the issue first made waves a few years ago. According to head coach Dan Quinn, that stance hasn’t changed, telling reporters with conviction that he will undoubtedly support them in 2020.
“If and when the players choose to protest — and I would say — in whatever way they choose, then hell yeah, I’ll support them and I’ll be with them in whatever they choose to do,” said Quinn.
