SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Seahawks fans gave Michael Bennett a loud ovation when he was introduced before the 49ers game. Outside protesters supported the player, who says he was subjected to racial profiling and excessive force when Las Vegas police detained him last month. Bennett again sat for the national anthem.

Outside the stadium, a small group of fans also showed support for quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is still without a job after his anthem protests a year ago.
