Bears safety Jordan Lucas says he ‘110 percent’ plans to kneel during national anthem

While the Chicago Bears haven’t discussed as a whole how they plan to approach protesting racial inequality, there is one player that already has his mind set.
New Bears safety Jordan Lucas told reporters Tuesday that he “110 percent” plans to kneel before games this season.
“In 2016, my rookie year, I was scared to kneel,” Lucas said, via the Sun-Times. “I didn’t want to lose my position on the team… I didn’t want to lose anything. But I think a lot of people are seeing right now its much bigger than the flag. we’re not disrespecting the flag, nor the military. I think people are really starting to understand that now.”.
“We just want peace,” Lucas said. “We just want justice. We want to be treated the same way as everybody. That’s just the cold, hard facts.”
