Baker Mayfield says he'll 'absolutely' be kneeling during the national anthem: 'If I lose fans, that's OK'
By Aris Folley - 06/14/20 05:20 PM EDT



Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said this week that he “absolutely” plans to join kneeling protests against police brutality and racial inequality during the national anthem when the NFL season picks back up.

Mayfield revealed his intentions to join kneeling protests for the coming season in an exchange with a social media user on Instagram earlier this week.

In a screenshot of the exchange captured and posted by ESPN writer and analyst Adam Schefter on Twitter Saturday, a fan could be seen telling Mayfield, “Please tell Browns fans you are not going to be kneeling this season.”


Mayfield told the fan in response, however, “Pull your head out. I absolutely am.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Well, you won't lose me. I'll watch High School football reruns before I watch another NFL game.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Me and tens of thousands of others disgusted by these pampered thugs will 'absolutely' not be watching Baker Mayfield kneel down.

Watching little man-babies play with their balls. No way these assholes deserve their 6 or 7 digit salaries. Sports is overrated.

Looks interesting, and I'm not really a gamer.
