Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid, playing in his first game since filing a collusion grievance against the National Football League, knelt during the national anthem Sunday.
Reid, who went unsigned during the offseason, filed a grievance in May with the support of the NFL Player’s Association claiming that owners and teams, under the pressure by President Trump, were preventing players that demonstrated prominently from gaining employment. He joined Colin Kaepernick in suing the NFL for alleged collusion to keep him out of the league after he started the kneeling movement in protest of racial injustice in the United States.
