In regards to his team, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson wants the focus to remain on football. Amid all the drama going on around the league and the country relating to protesting and who’s right and who’s wrong, Jackson wants his players concentrating on the task at hand. When it comes to players protesting during the playing of the National Anthem, Jackson said he respects the position of some NFL players in their decision to sit rather than stand, but doesn’t necessarily want anyone on his team participating in those demonstrations.
“I think everybody has a right to do, and I get it, but the National Anthem means a lot to myself personally, the organization and our football team,” Jackson said when asked about anthem protests re-emerging in the NFL following the events in Charlottesville, Virginia this past weekend.
