“I was always told I couldn't do something. If you tell me that, there's no question I'd drop to my knee. What we have to get away from is that divisiveness - trying to make me have to choose between standing up or taking a knee for injustice, or having place in the NFL. That's why you saw so many displays of unity in different ways. I would be with my team, and they shouldn't be seen as anti-American, because we as Americans have a right to be free.”
![“I want to be proud of this country [the USA], but when aspects of our policy don't align with my ethics, I want to protest them and try to change them. Being complicit because it's the home team is nationalism, not patriotism.” quote by Shepard Fairey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fc1/shepard-fairey-7921_aspect_i-want-to-be-proud-of-this-country-the-u_1247998.jpg)
