More Kaepernick talk
We wrote our column on A2 today about the dichotomy of Colin Kaepernick being within his rights as an American of sitting out the national anthem last weekend. Here it is if missed it.
This story continues to intrigue us on a lot of levels. Some we touched on yesterday – from the NFL to the duality of making unpopular but not illegal choices on matters of race make you a protestor but doing it on matters of religious beliefs makes you a bigot.
Now comes more reaction from within the game as well as from all sides.
Here’s what Drew Brees told reporters on Monday: “I disagree. I wholeheartedly disagree. Not that he wants to speak out about a very important issue. No, he can speak out about a very important issue. But there’s plenty of other ways that you can do that in a peaceful manner that doesn’t involve being disrespectful to the American flag.”
