It appears the NFL cannot stop a movement with threats of fines and penalties. 

Miami Dolphins players Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson defiantly kneeled during the season opener against the Tennesse Titans to call attention to racism and injustice, reports the Sun Sentinel.  

“I’m the last one standing from that group,” Stills said. He protested last season with former players running back Arian Foster, linebacker Jelani Jenkins and safety Michael Thomas.  

Stills' renewed protest comes days after Nike came out in full support of former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, who was the first to take a knee and start the movement.  

"My Brothers @kstills and @ithinkisee12 continue to show their unwavering strength by fighting for the oppressed!" Kaepernick tweeted. "They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated. Their courage will move the world forward!"

USA Today reports a third Dolphins player, defensive end Robert Quinn, showed solidarity by raising a fist. 

Mounting criticism has claimed players are disrespecting veterans through their protest. Stills told the New York Times their criticism has been misguided.

“It shouldn’t be this complicated,” Stills said. "Instead of people saying, yeah, let’s do this, let’s make change, let’s make our country a better place, it’s like, no, don’t do this then, this isn’t the right place, you don’t like the police.”
