\n CLEVELAND \u2014 Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield plans to kneel during the national anthem this upcoming season to support protests of social<\/a> injustice, police brutality and racism.<\/p>\n

In answering a post from a fan on his Instagram account Saturday that pleaded with him not to kneel, Mayfield responded: \u201cPull your head out. I absolutely am.\u2033<\/p>\n

Mayfield has been outspoken about the need for more understanding and justice in the nation following the killing of George Floyd, a black man, while in police custody in Minneapolis. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pivotal time for change,\u201d Mayfield said Thursday. \u201cWhat\u2019s being addressed now obviously has been going on for a long time. So now everybody\u2019s finally coming together to address it. And doing it the right way of holding people accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayfield wore an \u201cI Can\u2019t Breathe\u201d T-shirt while working out. Later, he posted another message outlining his stance on kneeling.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody so upset about my comment doesn\u2019t understand the reason behind kneeling in the first place,\u201d Mayfield wrote. \u201cI have the utmost respect for our military, cops, and people that serve OUR country. It\u2019s about equality and everybody being treated the same because we are all human. It\u2019s been ignored for too long and that it my fault as well for not becoming more educated and staying silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I lose fans, that\u2019s OK. I\u2019ve always spoken my mind. And that\u2019s from the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday, Houston Texans coach Bill O\u2019Brien said he would kneel with his players if they chose to do so during the anthem.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, while not going as far as O\u2019Brien, new Browns coach Kevin Stefanski made it clear he would back his players in any peaceful demonstrations. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy position is I want to make sure I support our players,\u201d Stefanski said. \u201cFirst things first, I want to make sure I sit down with them and talk. \u2026 I can just promise you this, we will spend as much time as needed to make sure that we are all on the same page and we are a united front from a player, staff, you name it (standpoint).\u201d<\/p>\n

Stefanski attended a peaceful protest last weekend and has encouraged his players to \u201cget in the arena.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
