Jurrell Casey To Continue Protesting Despite Anthem Policy 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jul 18, 2018 9:12 pm

Jurrell Casey plans on protesting social injustice and police brutality despite the NFL's new anthem policy.

"I'm going to take a fine this year, why not?" Casey told CNN in London during an event promoting the Titans-Chargers game that will be played Oct. 21 at Wembley Stadium. "I'm going to protest during the flag. That's what I'm going to say now."

The policy puts teams in danger of being fined if a player does not "show respect" for the anthem, which includes an attempt to kneel or sit during the anthem. 

Casey raised a fist after the national anthem throughout the 2017 season and he plans on continuing that method of protest.

Casey is a three-time Pro Bowler.
