NFL Players Renew Anthem Protests As Pre-Season Starts

Malcolm Jenkins #27 of the Philadelphia Eagles raises his fist during the national anthem as Chris Long #56 puts his arm around him prior to the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, in Philadelphia.

Several players knelt, raised fists or refused to take the field protesting police brutality. Last month the NFL said it would temporarily suspend enforcement of a new "must-stand" policy.
