Audio has emerged of CBS commentator Jim Nantz making derisive comments about NFL players who choose to kneel for the national anthem to protest oppression of people of color and police brutality.

The audio, released Thursday, purportedly comes from the Week 4 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins, a game that saw multiple Dolphins players kneel for the anthem.

In the clip, Nantz is heard saying, "They're going to keep kneeling as long as they have cameras right in their face(s)."

It's unclear if this audio aired on television or how it emerged now.
