Every excited fan, ball boy, mascot, Panther, and Denver Bronco stood during the first national anthem of the 2016 NFL regular season except for linebacker Brandon Marshall, who took a knee and promptly got confused with Jets receiver Brandon Marshall for the umpteenth time since [insert first game date] by ignorant fools moonlighting as tweeters.

Considering he was teammates with quarterback Colin Kaepernick at Nevada, it’s not really a shocker to see the linebacker follow in the footsteps of his rebellious buddy and stand/kneel in protest.

But let’s get back to the BM tandem, not to be confused with the rear-end BMs we all know and love. This is an unfortunate, yet viciously talented couple that gets consistently flip flopped regardless of what the real issue is. Here I will say I admire his staunch support of Kaepernick, reported by The Gazette..

“I support Colin. I support ‘Kaep.’ I understand where he’s coming from,” Marshall said. “I definitely see what he’s saying. I support him on that. I’m not mad at him for that. Some people are bashing him on the Internet, but I’m not bashing him at all. I support him. “Kaep, he’s using his platform how he wants to use it, to reach the masses. We have freedom of speech. But then we use our platform, and we get bashed for it. It’s almost like they want us to only go with the grain. And once we go against the grain, it’s an issue. I feel for Kaep. I understand where he’s coming from, and I support him.”
