“There is a human rights issue that has been going on for a long time, and I believe in that,” Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said.
CLEVELAND — Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam will stand in support of quarterback Baker Mayfield and any other Cleveland players who kneel during the national anthem this season.
On Sunday, the Haslams said they have the young QB's back and respect any Browns players who join him.“One of the great things about this country, one of the many great things, is the ability to have freedom of speech and being able to express yourself,” Jimmy Haslam said on a Zoom call with his wife. “So we are going to support our players.”
When nearly two dozen Browns players knelt before a home exhibition game last season, the actions triggered condemnation from some area veterans groups. “I think all too much attention is called to whether somebody kneels or stands or what their statement is, and not nearly enough attention is called to what they do afterward,” he said.
