CenturyLink terminated its endorsement deal with the Denver Broncos linebacker last year due to his protests during the national anthem. But the same telecommunications company vowed that it will not terminate its endorsement deal with his wide receiver teammate Emmanuel Sanders, who was one of 32 Broncos players who knelt during the anthem Sunday in response to President Trump calling any protesting player a "son of a b***h."

What's the reason?

“Our understanding is that the decision to kneel was a team decision, rather than an individual decision,” CenturyLink said in a statement to The Denver Post on Tuesday. “We spoke with Emmanuel and expressed our concern regarding not standing during the national anthem to properly pay respect and gratitude to those who have fought, and many who have died, to serve our great nation and protect the freedom we all enjoy. He indicated he participated in the protest to show team unity and that it was a one-time occurrence.”

So, because Sunday's protest was a team decision and not an individual act, Sanders' endorsement deal with CenturyLink is safe? Well, Marshall isn't buying that explanation whatsoever, taking to his Twitter account Tuesday and letting it be known that he wasn't afforded the same luxury from the company.
