Broncos' Brandon Marshall loses endorsement with credit union

After Thursday’s game, Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall spoke thoughtfully about why he ultimately decided to take a knee during the singing of the national anthem before his team played the Carolina Panthers.

Marshall made it clear that his protest was for just one reason – “I’m against social injustice. I’m not against the military, the police or America at all. I’m against social injustice.”

But one company that was working with Marshall decided quickly to end its arrangement with the veteran player.

The credit union made the decision despite the fact that Marshall said he will be donating to various charities, including those that support military veterans. “It’s hard for vets in this country as well,” he told reporters.

He was a college teammate of Kaepernick.

I don't know their politics but on base credit unions and USAA have very reasonable rates.
