On Sunday over two hundred NFL players and staff knelt for the national anthem.

Over a dozen NFL players took a knee during the US national anthem at their London game.

But not all athletes disrespect the US flag and its anthem.

Respect.
In August 2016 Jamaican gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt interrupted a post-race interview on Sunday with a Mexican reporter to stand and respect to the US National Anthem.

Usain may have a huge ego but this was an incredible gesture.
