Dwayne Allen is a tight end for the Indianapolis Colts.
For most of his career he has kneeled at the end of the anthem in prayer. He prays for himself, his family and the safety of everyone playing the very dangerous game of football.
NBC though said he was kneeling in protest and because of that he had to deal with a bunch of crap on social media.
It is terrible our country is this hateful.
For over 4 years, @Dallen83 has knelt in prayer at the end of the National Anthem for every game. Sunday was no different: https://t.co/EMVM8P9aWP

It is sadder that he even had to address it and it just shows you how divided we are as a country.
