The report said that the focus on the NFL kneeling controversy went well beyond 2016 and continued as late as March 2018.

It's been previously reported that Russian trolls continued efforts to divide the US after Election Day 2016, and that the NFL has been a big target, but the new report builds on the extent to which this occurred.
