A few notable reactions on Twitter:
Nice job by NBC for showing some of Brandon Marshall kneeling but not an excessive amount. Struck the right balance

People incorrectly lighting up #Jets WR Brandon Marshall’s mentions in 3…2…1

Kaepernick has come under fire as of late for his protest of the anthem, using his public presence and status to speak out against police brutality and other social issues. Marshall is the latest NFL player to join the protest.
Marshall and Kaepernick played college ball together at Nevada.
