Christian players defend anthem protest amid NFL clash
Eric Reid and fellow Christian players defend kneeling for the anthem as a call for justice. They cite faith, love for people, and prodding Christians to reflect on Jesus teachings while critics urge unity and respect for the flag. The debate centers on race, policy, and national values within the league.
