Morning.

Seems to be a big thing in the sport ball world. I have the Dan Patrick show on and it has been the first hour topic.

Ben seems to not understand the NFL and most of the teams probably are pissed at Kaepernick because of all the attention. Lots of the coaches are fairly military oriented and probably hate it all too.

Dan Patrick seems to not like it and says it is not in the spirit of “the team” and if he was coach he’d send Kaepernick to the locker room during the anthem so as to not be a distraction.

Bottom line…NFL football doesn’t like anything getting in the way of the revenue stream.

The militarization/nationalism at professional sporting events is kinda overboard anyway, especially since 911. A lot of times they roll out a flag that’s as big as the field, have some jets flyover, etc.
