Another Player Joins Kaepernick's Anthem Protests as Fans Boo.
SESAY: Hello, everyone. Hurricane Hermine is barreling across the U.S. with at least 25 million people in its path. The storm made landfall along Florida's gulf coast within the past hour. It is drenching that state with some very heavy rains. Florida's governor calling it a life-threatening storm. Flooding is a major concern. Hermine's strong winds are bringing down power lines along the way. In the state capitol Tallahassee more than 70,000 customers are without electricity. Thousands of Venezuelans flooded the streets on Thursday trying to get the president kicked out of office. Protesters blame the collapsing economy on his government and are demanding a recall vote. National Guard officers fired tear gas at some of those protesters while the opposition protested, a pro government rally was happening nearby. The president was there and pressed his supporters to be ready in case of a coup. Back to the U.S., American football player Colin Kaepernick has again refused to stand during the U.S. national anthem. He knelt on one knee, instead, as you see there, at a pre-season game against the San Diego Chargers. And another man dressed in black knelt beside him. That man has been identified in local media as Safety Eric Reed (ph). Kaepernick was booed by some crowd members when he took the field. He says the act is a protest against racism. Our Paul Vercammen is in San Diego for more on the game and fan reaction to Kaepernick's protest.</s>PAUL VERCAMMEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Colin Kaepernick continued his protest here in San Diego. And when he lopped on to the field with his helmet off, he was booed.</s>VERCAMMEN: And he was booed for the rest of the game. When the anthem started, he was standing and he dropped down to one knee. Then when the anthem ended, there was a cheer by the San Diego fans, but then they resumed their booing of Kaepernick. He got the ball first for the 49ers and he was booed every snap ever since. After the game, the fans gave Kaepernick mixed reviews.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Free country. He can do what he wants. I don't think it's very respectful. I think it's somewhat ignorant. But it's his right to do with what he wants.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't think he respects the country. The military fights hard for this country so he has the right. I do understand where he's coming from, but I just don't respect it.</s>VERCAMMEN: It was military night inside the stadium. There was a lot of pomp and a lot of circumstance. The fans were enjoying the game. But there was a cluster of them that seemed to enjoy more than anything booing Colin Kaepernick. Reporting from San Diego, I'm Paul Vercammen. Now back to you.</s>SESAY: Our thanks to Paul there. And at another NFL game, Seattle Seahawks player Jeremy Lane sat during the nationality anthem. It's not clear yet if it was an act of protest. Not clear at all. Now, fire and explosion destroyed a SpaceX rock on Thursday.
