Collin Kaepernick made headlines when he chose to stay seated for the National Anthem. Other players are trying to smooth things over by saying that you have to respect your opinion even if you disagree with it. This is America where we're all allowed to have opinions. Here are my feelings....
1. I respect his opinion. No, actually, I respect his ability to HAVE an opinion. I do not have to, nor do I respect his opinion. I think it's a load of crap and a publicity stunt.
2. If he really has a desire to change the way this country functions, how about he use all the money he makes to try to support race relation education? He is doing absolutely NO good educating on the topic, nor doing a thing to change it by his approach.
3. Sitting for the National Anthem does NOT just disrespect this country. It disrespects all of the men and women that have fought for us and continue to fight for us on a daily basis. It disrespects those that ARE concerned about the state of this country and that fight for you whether you deserve it or not.
4. I sincerely hope that every person that has a Kaepernick jersey will throw it away and wear a shirt supporting the American military instead.
You will not repair the state of this country by bitching and moaning. You won't repair it by sitting out during the National Anthem, burning the flag or any other dumb stunt. You will repair it when you stop standing by and whining and start educating people. If you're really concerned about a cause, start finding ways to educate others and change the world the RIGHT way. Stop acting like a spoiled child who doesn't like the green beans your parents served you for dinner.
