If anyone was curious if Kenny Stills would continue to kneel for the national anthem as a member of the Houston Texans, they got their answer on Monday night.
Before the prime time game against the New Orleans Saints, Stills kneeled, as the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson reports.
Stills, a social justice advocate, has built a reputation for doing so and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. When Houston acquired from the Miami Dolphins, the question if they would accept him kneeling or not was raised.
Coach Bill O’Brien was asked for his thoughts about Stills’ kneeling and how the team would handle it when asked on Sept. 2.
“Relative to any social justice initiatives, you guys know that my history here with the Houston Texans is I love the players,” O’Brien said. “I have the players’ back and we communicate about those things.
“I’m not going to get into any discussions that I would have with any player about those things, but I support the players in social justice initiatives.”
