What was said
"I'd rather see him take a knee than stand up Put his hands up and get murdered so I mean my my my take on it is It got to start somewhere and if that was the starting point I just hope people open up their eyes to see that it's really a problem going on and something needs to be done for it to stop And I mean if you really not racist then you won't see what he done what he's doing as a threat to America but just addressing a problem that we have"
Marshawn Lynch offered unfiltered support for Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protests, framing the issue as a matter of life and death for Black Americans. The former NFL star defended Kaepernick's actions as necessary to address systemic racism and police violence, directly challenging critics who view the protests as anti-American. Lynch's blunt commentary connects the protests to survival rather than disrespect.
