Former NFL superstars Tim Brown and Jermichael Finley are basically bashing Marshawn Lynch for sitting during the national anthem recently. When will it end? More inside…
Folks still have something to say about NFL players protesting against the national anthem in the name of social and racial injustices.
NFL Hall of Famer/Raiders icon Tim Brown is one of them. He certainly has an opinion about Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sitting (and eating a banana) during the national anthem at the Raiders pre-season game against the Cardinals. Since Colin Kaepernick wasn't picked up by an NFL team, somebody has to lead the charge.

The former NFL baller chopped it up with TMZ, where he criticized Marshawn for sitting during the anthem. “Why bring negativity, to this incredible, positive situation?,” Tim asked.
What negativity Tim?! How is sitting during the national anthem negativity? We need answers.
We’d like to note, Marshawn has sat during the national anthem on-and-off throughout his 11 years in the NFL. And we all know Marshawn gives ZERO f*cks.
Tim then went on to say that Marshawn (and others) shouldn’t protest at games because “football is where people go to get away from that stuff.”
Peep the clip below:
Stuff? Really Tim? These men are using their platforms in an effort to make your children’s lives better, yet, there’s an issue? Nah, brah. Come again.
And he's not the only one...
Former NFLer Jermichael Finley is out here cooining as well. He said he doesn't believe any of the players kneeling during the anthem are doing it because they care. He feels they're doing it as a PR stunt.
"It's more of marketing, it's not really in their heart that they really want to do that. But once again, I think it's a selfish reason I really do," Jermichael told TMZ. Sir, have several seats.
Peep the clip above.
