In September 2017, as the attention of the United States turned to National Football League players who took to kneeling during the national anthem as a form of a protest against police brutality, a photograph showing a Seattle Seahawks player burning an American flag in a locker room has gone viral across the internet:

The image has caused outrage against the NFL, as if it was not bad enough before this incident. The Seahawks player has been suspended and the Seahawks next 3 games have reportedly been cancelled.

This is an ongoing investigation.
