Thanks to my friend Frosty for his words of wisdom on this tragedy, “The Kaepernick Caper”. Here is a guy, as you know, multimillionaire ball player, whom decides to bring “his brand” of politics into the sports arena. If this were Roman times, the lions would have been sent in. Here in America, you have a right to protest and protest he has.
Unfortunately for him, he disgraces the very freedom to protest by disparaging our symbols of freedom, by kneeling during the National Anthem.
As Frosty so succinctly puts, he ought protest his cause by doing so on interviews on his time.
In my opinion, when you are in uniform, you represent the team, not your individual views.
At no time should any American citizen with all the gripes in the world, dishonor the American flag. That one symbol allows free speech not enjoyed in all of Africa, China, North Korea and dozens of totalitarian countries worldwide.
