Miami Dolphins receiver Albert Wilson continued to kneel during the national anthem at the game against Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 8—continuing one of the most controversial protests for social justice that began three years ago.

Wilson, who reportedly knelt at every game last season, told the Sun-Sentinel that he was doing it in support of fellow NFL player Kenny Stills, who was traded to the Houston Texans about a week ago. According to a Houston Chronicle reporter, Stills also continued kneeling during his game on Sept. 9.
