AMERICAN football player Malcolm Jenkins continued his silent protest against the United States national anthem on Thursday night, challenging those “who stay silent to be courageous and use your platforms to become part of the solution.”

Jenkins was one of the many players who supported quarterback Colin Kaepernick last season, who knelt before games to raise awareness of racial injustice and police brutality in the US.

Kaepernick has been unable to find a team since walking away from the San Francisco 49ers in January and has since said that, should he return, he will stop his protest.
