  • AUG. 28, 2016 My view is [the anthem] is about honoring the people that served and made the commitment to our country, some who even made the ultimate sacrifice. When I stand, that's what I'm standing for. I'm standing for the people that came before my father and the people that came after him. — Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers head coach
  • AUG. 28, 2016 [The anthem] is important to me. It’s a respect thing, okay? It’s a self-respect thing. It’s a respect for your teammates. It’s a respect for this game. It’s a respect for this country … It’s an opportunity to realize how lucky you are and what you’re doing. — Jeff Fisher, former head coach
  • AUG. 28, 2016 Anytime I talk to my team about that, if there’s personal beliefs or whatever that keep you from doing it, I understand. But at the same time, you know, you’ve got to look at the gifts that we have, the opportunity that we have to play a great game is through the men and women that serve our country.

  • AUG. 29, 2016 I am with him 100 percent. ... Now if you ask me ‘Would I do that?’ No I won't, because I see it a little differently.

  • AUG. 29, 2016 I respect his decision to stand up for how he feels, but I don't think you do it in that manner. I think you stand up for the national anthem. It's bigger than just what's going on around our country. You've got people fighting for our lives, fighting for our country every day. — Kenny Vaccaro, New Orleans Saints safety

  • SEPT. 1, 2016 Things have happened in Louisiana and the injustices that are happening could have happened to one of my family members.

There are a lot of people out there that feel that way. — Eric Reid, San Francisco 49ers safety

    Ingraham put out her own statement, denying her remarks had racist undertones. “In 2003, I wrote a New York Times bestseller called Shut Up & Sing, in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics ... If pro athletes and entertainers want to freelance as political pundits, then they should not be surprised when they’re called out for insulting politicians. There was no racial intent in my remarks - false, defamatory charges of racism are a transparent attempt to immunize entertainment and sports elites from scrutiny and criticism.”

    During the Uninterrupted interview James was asked if wealth had insulated him from racism. He cited his own experience last year, when his house in LA was daubed with racist graffiti. “I’m a black man with a bunch of money. And having a crib in Brentwood and having the word nigger spray painted over my gate – that lets you know that I ain’t too far removed and I still got a lot more work to do.

    “No matter how far, money, or access, or how you become in life as an African American man, female, they will always try to figure out a way to let you know that you still beneath them. It’s either one of two things at that point. You either cave into that notion, or you just chalk it up and say: ‘You know what? I’m going to paint over this goddamn gate and I’m gonna make it taller.’”

He said Ingraham's criticism only enlarged his message: "The best thing she did was help me create more awareness" during the "best weekend" at the NBA, the athlete said Sunday. "I get to sit up here and talk about social injustice."

    "We will definitely not shut up and dribble. ... I mean too much to society, too much to the youth, too much to so many kids who feel like they don't have a way out," James continued.
