Baker Mayfield doubles down on Anthem Kneeling, ‘It’s a human rights issue’

Baker Mayfield maintains his commitment to kneel before the national anthem … and says he is proud to use his platform to speak out for human rights.

Remember, the Cleveland Browns QB clapped back at a fan who begged him not to take a knee this coming season … and said, “Pull your head out. I absolutely am.”

During a virtual media session Friday, Bake was asked if he regretted going public with his knee-jerk plans due to social media backlash he received afterwards.

“I have no regrets,” Mayfield says. “I think I’m in my position, which is a blessing, to be out on a platform where I can talk about issues that … they’re just wrong.”

“Right is right, wrong is wrong. This is an issue for human rights that has happened for a long time and I believe in that.”

# 6 went on … “There is nothing against the military, everyone who serves. And everyone who knows my history knows that I fully support the military and the people who serve our country for the right reasons and it for justice’s sake. “

Mayfield is not all talk – he has shown serious love for those who have protected the country over the years … and even met with every member of the Army who attended Brown’s training camp in the past.

Baker’s also helped the Browns turn a corner of care packages to the army in 2019 … so yeah, the guy is doing a lot more for the troops than what some anti-knickers will ever do.
