Boyer: Protest was patriotic act

Ten years after helping shape Colin Kaepernick's anthem protest, former NFL player and Army Green Beret Nate Boyer still views it as an act of patriotism despite facing vitriol.

Former NFL long snapper and Army veteran Nate Boyer, who helped quarterback Colin Kaepernick shape his anthem protest, remains steadfast in his belief that the demonstration was patriotic. "The vitriol was more disrespectful than the protest," Boyer stated. xsportfeed.life

Boyer's comments come as his MVP foundation, which supports veterans and NFL players transitioning to civilian life, recently lost a sponsorship amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the protest. Despite this setback, Boyer maintains the protest was never meant to disrespect the country but to raise awareness about racial injustice.
