Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott defended his stance on the national anthem protests, in an interview published Aug. 1.

“I never said I didn’t believe in social injustice and things that were going on. I just said I didn’t think that the national anthem was the time. It’s two minutes out of our day that we could also be spending embracing what our country should be and what our country is going to be one day that we know that it’s not right now. That is the sad part about it. That it’s not,” said Prescott, via the Star-Telegram.
