The Chargers plan to present a united front before Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, agreeing Friday to stand and link arms during the national anthem at StubHub Center.

Chris McCain,Womens Jacoby Brissett Jersey,While most players and coaches stood and linked arms during the anthem before last Sunday’s game, Damion Square,Authentic Jordan Richards Jersey, five defensive linemen — Brandon Mebane, Darius Philon and Tenny Palepoi — sat or kneeled to draw attention to racism and social injustice and rebuff criticism from President Trump for their actions.

the guys wanted to do something to show we were against divisive remarks by anybody and to stand together as one unit,Womens James White Jersey,“We just want to get back to playing football and get the politics out,” coach Anthony Lynn said. “Last week, and we decided to stick with it.”

he said,Lynn expects all players and coaches to stand and link arms, but when asked if everyone agreed, “Yes … for the most part.”

” Lynn said. “If that’s the way they choose to express themselves,If players choose to kneel or sit, “That’s on them, we support them 100%.”

There seemed to be a consensus Friday among the players.

” Mebane said. “I don’t know if 100% will do it, we all decided to link arms,“Obviously, things are not where we want them to be at right now, that was the plan coming out of our team meeting.”, but as a team, but right now

said he will stand,McCain, who was outspoken in his remarks about Trump last Sunday, though it appears with some reluctance.

so I’m just gonna keep my mouth closed,“No good will come out of commenting on it,” McCain said. “I respect my coach. It’s his decision. It’s what he wants.”

like many NFL teams,Womens Everson Griffen Jersey,The Chargers, Womens Joe Thuney Jersey,also have discussed ways to affect the community in a positive way. Lynn plans to meet with Los Angeles Police Dept. officers and perhaps go on a ride-along on next Tuesday’s off day in an effort to “improve police relationships in different communities.”

a Los Angeles native who witnessed the riots in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King verdict as a child and attended Crenshaw High,Womens Malcom Brown Jersey,Mebane, plans to sponsor reading programs for kids at his elementary school and conduct nutrition programs at his middle school.

” said Mebane,Womens Jordan Richards Jersey,“I was eating pizza and nachos every day in middle school, Authentic James White Jersey,a former Seattle Seahawks lineman who recently adopted a plant-based diet. “I found out [later] that that was a problem.”

Mebane recalled flying into LAX during a bye week a few years ago and counting 30 fast-food restaurants during the seven-mile drive to his parents’ house.

“We counted one or two grocery stores,” Mebane said. “We have all these fast-food restaurants and no organic restaurants. We have to let the youth know there are different ways of eating healthy.”

Mebane balked at the idea of riding along with LAPD officers but is eager to promote any community-based policing efforts.

things like that,“Before the riots, no matter what … we’d see them as the enemy because of different things that happened with harassment, the police tried to get close to the community., there was tension in the African-American community with the police — every time we’d see an officer,” Mebane said. “After the riots

go to their trunk and give us big long sheets of Dodgers baseball cards. That was a way for them to connect with the community. I thought that was actually a good thing,“We’d be outside playing, and years later, the cops would stop their car, that kind of went away.”

Etc.

Running back Melvin Gordon (knee), Authentic Jacoby Brissett Jersey,but we decided he needs more time, was a limited practice participant this week but is ruled out for Sunday. “He was close, right tackle Joe Barksdale (foot), out since May because of a herniated disk in his lower back, linebacker Hayes Pullard (knee) and tight end Sean McGrath (foot) were full participants in Friday’s light practice and listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
