Jenkins has been bringing his clench hand up noticeable all around amid the national hymn since Week 2, a choice he made to express his disappointment with the way he feels the nation treats racial minorities. Sunday was the Eagles "Salute to Service" day, where they respected individuals from the military. He has made it clear he doesn't see it as disregarding military individuals. "Most of the NFL is African-American. We are the good examples for a ton of the African-American people group. In the event that we utilize the phase that we have and the achievement that we have, and disregard the issues that are influencing the African-American people group, than what sort of message are we sending?," Jenkins said prior this season. "A considerable measure of times individuals would prefer not to hear that. They need us to discuss the Eagles and discuss football, yet we have a greater obligation to the children and the groups out there. They are the groups the vast majority of us have originated from. We can't disregard that."
