Saying this is breaking a fundamental rule.. Never forget History. Historically athletes have used the stages provided to them to push their agenda. Historically athletes have been able to increase awareness to various social issues, shedding light on the problems and then inspiring change.That's fine but I think he threw it away by using his place of business as a means to show disrespect. There was no reason for that. The national anthem in the US has morphed into a huge symbol of respect for those who made the greatest sacrifice of all to protect flag and country. Those people are the ones who's contributions and sacrifices allowed guys like Kaepernick to live in millionaire comfort and snub their nose at the system. I'm sorry but while I wholeheartedly believe in freedom of speech, let him do it at the local little league game. The whole country shouldn't have to see what a dipshit he is.
Who the fuck are you to tell him when and where is allowed to exercise his 1st amendment rights. Stop framing your anger and hatred for bullshit reasons and come out and say it. You clearly are too ignorant to understand the power of free speech and protest.
