Nebraska Cornhuskers linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey said he has received racially motivated backlash after he and two teammates knelt during the national anthem before Saturdays game at Northwestern.In a statement to reporters Monday, Rose-Ivey said he had been called the N-word on social media and threatened. Linebacker Mohamed Barry and defensive end DaiShon Neal knelt alongside Rose-Ivey during the anthem at Northwesterns Ryan Field.Some believe DaiShon, Mohamed and myself should be kicked off the team or suspended, while some said we deserved to be lynched or shot like the other black people who have died recently, Rose-Ivey said before collecting himself. Another believed that since we didnt want to stand for the anthem that we should be hung before the anthem at the next game.In a statement posted later Monday on Twitter, Rose-Ivey wrote that he and his teammates were joining?San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick?and other athletes in standing together and using our various platforms to bring awareness about police brutality and the recent deaths of black men and women at the hands of police officers.The Nebraska players informed the team of their intentions before the anthem and received support from coach Mike Riley and others. Rose-Ivey wrote that he and his teammates understood the implications of their actions but could not turn a blind eye to injustice. He added that hes not anti-police or anti-American.We, as black athletes, cannot remain silent, Rose-Ivey wrote on Twitter. ... These issues are bigger than football. These issues are bigger than me. These issues are bigger than all of us because it impacts all of us, whether you believe it or not. We must have accountability, we must have understanding, we must have love, but we must also have genuine dialogue that finds genuine solutions and demands genuine actions.Barry said Monday that hes received way more positive feedback from Husker fans than negative since the protest.Yeezys Shoes UK .

We have to do the right thing.Kessler was injured on the second-to-last play of the third quarter. As he ran right and threw, he was dragged to the ground by linebacker Ryan Shazier.As Shazier pulled Kessler to the ground, Lawrence Timmons dove into Kessler and appeared to hit Kesslers shoulder. It was not clear whether Kessler was hit in the head by Simmons, or if Kesslers head hit the ground when he was tackled.Left tackle Joe Thomas said it appeared on the replay that Timmons hit Kessler in the head with either his shoulder or forearm as he dove over Kessler. Timmmons was penalized for unnecessary roughness; Thomas pointed out that in college that kind of play would lead to a player being ejected.dddddddddddd.Thomas added that he was basing his statement on the replay, not on anything he saw on the field because he was engaged in a block when Kessler was hit.Kessler has been knocked out of a game three times in his eight starts. He left the New England game with injured ribs, and he had a concussion against the Bengals.He was largely ineffective against the Steelers, going 7-for-14 for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. He was sacked four times.Josh McCown took over at quarterback, and probably will start Sunday if Kessler cant play.Jackson said Friday that Robert Griffin III has been cleared to practice, but not for full contact.
