抵制国歌丢赞助的NFL球员 每次擒抱捐300美金
NFL丹佛野马队线卫马歇尔(Brandon Marshall)，在上周的开幕战力挺旧金山49人四分卫卡普尼克(Colin Kaepernick)，唱国歌时单膝跪地，企图唤醒大众对有色人种的不公不义，结果损失两个赞助。但马歇尔在台湾时间15日宣布，本季只要完成1次擒抱，就捐出300美金（约9500台币）给社福团体。
上星期9日的NFL开幕战，丹佛野马对上卡罗莱纳黑豹，马歇尔以行动支持大学队友卡普尼克，结果马上损失航空学校联邦储蓄互助社 （Air Academy Federal Credit Union）的代言，随后又失去了来自资讯公司世纪互联(CenturyLink)的赞助。
对于批评与支持，马歇尔在Instagram上表示，自己在这礼拜跟许多备受尊敬的人对谈，包含丹佛的警方，也得到许多回应；而自己对于性别和种族平等、民众与执法人员的关系、退役军人福利等社会议题有许多想法，「我们要挺身而出，做出改变。」
马歇尔也表示，他不只与防治家暴的社福团体合作，还想将范围更阔大，本季每完成1次擒抱，就捐出300美金给需要的团体。马歇尔在上个球季16场例行赛全部先发上阵，共完成102次擒抱，排名全队第二。
On Thursday, Sept. 8, I took a knee for the National Anthem to take a stand against social injustice. My intent was not to offend anyone but rather to simply raise awareness and create some dialogue toward affecting positive change in our communities. In the last week, I’ve had a lot of productive conversations with people I respect, including Chief White of the Denver Police Department. I really appreciate all of them taking the time to listen to me and offer some insight and feedback on ways we can all make a difference. I’ve also had a lot of time to personally reflect on important issues such as race and gender equality, the treatment of our military veterans, our relationship with law enforcement, educational opportunities for our youth, and many more. I recognize and applaud the significant progress that has been made in these areas made possible only through the hard work of so many dedicated leaders. But, it’s clear there is so much more work to be done by all of us. Together, we all need to Stand Up for change. This starts with me. My work with the Rose Andom Center to stop domestic violence is fulfilling and close to my heart. But I need to do more. I plan to be involved with several other organizations that benefit the Denver community and others through the services, awareness and funds they provide for these critical social issues. And I will donate 300 dollars for every tackle I make this season to those programs. You can track these contributions on social media through #TackleChange. I’m truly grateful for the support I’ve received from so many people, especially my teammates. I look forward to preparing with them and focusing on an important game Sunday against the Colts.
