Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Dak Prescott has publicly announced that he would not protest during the national anthem before games.
Dak said:
I respect what all those guys believe in. If they believe it's going to make a change and it's going to make a difference, then power to them. But for me, I believe in doing something, action. It's not about taking a knee. It's not necessarily about standing. We can find a different place to make our country better.
