Former San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid stated earlier this month that he was not being picked up by a team because he was one of the leading players protesting the national anthem. Despite this, Reid said he was undeterred.

“I’m not saying I’m going to stop being active because I won’t. I’m just going to consider different ways to be active, different ways to bring awareness to the issues of this country and improve on the issues happening in this country.
