Raiders’ Marshawn Lynch stands for Mexican anthem, sits for U.S. anthem

MEXICO CITY — Marshawn Lynch finally stood for a national anthem this season, but it wasn’t for the Star-Spangled Banner. The Raiders running back stood for the Mexican anthem prior to playing against the Patriots at Estadio Azteca on Sunday. Lynch, like he has done all year, didn’t stand for most of the U.S. anthem. There did not appear to be any other protests during the anthem as the afternoon games kicked off.
