    GAME. BLOUSES.

    We will update you, momentarily, on the NFL players from Monday night who stood tall with a clenched fist, along with those who sat or kneeled before the game. But first, we need to talk about Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. It wasn’t enough that the man caught eight passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-16 blowout win over the Washington Redskins on Monday night. Nah, he also did this:

    UM …

    WHAT IS GOING ON?

    MAKE IT STOP!

    HIDE!

    BLESSINGS!

    SOCIAL STATUS

    San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the injustices facing black people and people of color in America during the national anthem landed in Baltimore big time this week. First, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones explained to USA TODAY that he’s not surprised by the lack of protest in baseball.

    “We already have two strikes against us already,” Jones told USA TODAY‘s Bob Nightengale. “So you might as well not kick yourself out of the game. In football, you can’t kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don’t need us.”

    “Baseball is a white man’s sport,” Jones added.

    Later on Tuesday, Baltimore Councilman Brandon M. Scott stood at a city council meeting with a Kaepernick jersey on and his head bowed during the Pledge of Allegiance.
