The right-wingers constantly carry on about free speech & how they love the Constitution and shouldn’t have to be PC. As you correctly pointed out, refusing to stand for the national anthem is well within his rights, regardless of how anyone feels about it. Let’s see how accepting they are of this. (Yeah, I know, I’m just saying.)

From “Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian”

FUN FACT: Most people saying Colin Kaepernick is unpatriotic for criticizing America do so while wearing red ball caps that say America isn’t great.

I had a conversation about this with my eleven year old son. He asked why Kaepernick woudn’t stand during the anthem and I said it’s his choice, he feels that this country discriminates against black people and this is his way of protesting that. I then added that I don’t think he is helping his cause by protesting in this fashion as all he is going to do is piss off the very people he is, I guess, in some way trying to reform. They’ll just see this as a confirmation of their pre-conceived notion that people of color are not patriotic like them and therefore are not worthy of equal treatment. And the cycle will continue. It’s a lazy protest, it is easy to just sit during the anthem and say I am doing it for X reason. It is much harder to use the platform his celebrity allows to develop reach out programs to police forces and the community in general to improve relations.
