Marshawn Lynch wears ‘Everybody vs Trump’ shirt, sparking outrage

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch made a political statement before Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, but it was before he even stepped foot onto the field.

NFL insider for ESPN, Adam Schefter, posted a photo on Twitter of Lynch arriving at Sports Authority Field in Denver in a T-shirt that read “Everybody vs Trump.”

The choice of wardrobe comes at a time of heated debate between the Trump administration and the football league over players taking a knee during the national anthem before games in protest of racial injustice. Although Lynch was one of the first to players to sit out the anthem, he has never vocalized why he was doing so.

As one Twitter user put it, “Beast mode got people in their feelings,” and the debate continues. Here’s a sampling of those who give Lynch a pat on the back and those who aren’t thrilled with his fashion choice.

Another wrote, "Strongly support Marshawn Lynch right to wear any tee shirt … strongly oppose Nevada paying $750M to bring his team to Las Vegas."

"Got heem! Now THAT is what racism looks like. This is not. Marshawn’s fighting against a racist, despicable president. Huge difference," one user opined.

But not everyone agreed.

The firestorm began on Sept. 22, when President Trump suggested during a rally in Alabama that coaches should get the “son of a b—” players off the field if they continued to kneel. The comments triggered widespread protests from athletes, the league and coaches, many of whom condemned Trump’s comments.

The Democratic Coalition — the political group that filed an ethics complaint against Donald Trump over the weekend — filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Tuesday, asking whether the president violated federal law when he called on NFL owners to fire players who kneel in protest during the national anthem.
