An American flag in the shape of the U.S. was unveiled Sunday ahead of the San Francisco 49ers game against the Dallas Cowboys, the latest response to a controversy that has embroiled the entire NFL over how teams respond to the national anthem.
The flag was unveiled at the San Francisco 49ers Levi’s Stadium.
Some 49ers players kneeled during the national anthem, according to multiple reports.
All of the players on the Dallas Cowboys stood for the anthem, according to the Dallas Morning News. David Irving raised his fist at the end of the anthem.
