Jim Nantz: Athletes will keep protesting anthem ‘as long as you have the cameras’ on them

Another hot mic incident.

Deadspin uncovered an eight second clip of announcer Jim Nantz criticizing athletes that kneel during the anthem during Thursday Night Football in September:

“They’re gonna keep kneeling as long as they have cameras right in their face,” he said.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started the trend during the preseason as a way to protest against racial inequality and violence against black people by cops across America.
