“As a guy that’s been there and helped set up the Patriot Way so they can walk in there and do what they do, it’s beyond disheartening,” former All-Pro offensive tackle Matt Light told the [Boston Herald](http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/patriots/2017/09/matt_light_ashamed_as_team_takes_part_in_protest). “It’s the first time I’ve ever been ashamed to be a Patriot. And I promise you I’m not the only one.”
