Edit: Lost in tomorrow’s hashtag

In an editorial, Samantha Malott of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News comments:

As more athletes continue to kneel during the playing of the national anthem before games - a move started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane to bring awareness to the mistreatment of African Americans in the U.S. - another of Seattle’s players is worried the message behind such protests is getting lost.

In a statement to media two weeks ago, the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman said, “You have players that are trying to take a stand and trying to be aware of social issues and try to make a stand and increase people’s awareness and put a spotlight on it and they’re being ignored. Whether they’re taking a knee or whether they’re locking arms, they’re trying to bring people together and unite them for a cause.”
