Colin Kaepernick joins protest by high school team

However, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that “it would be good for the city”, and linebacker Thomas Davis agreed.

Mike Ditka has his thoughts, and he often uses no filter when he shares those thoughts.

Members of the Castlemont High School football team in Oakland, California, lay on the ground with their hands in the air while the national anthem played before their game Friday night.

Ditka added that he doesn’t see problems in America that would warrant protests. “We all have inalienable rights as a citizen of this country and they’re being violated and that’s what I think Colin is standing up for”. “That’s what I think”, Ditka said.

Staind frontman Aaron Lewis says NFL star Colin Kaepernick should be fined every time he refuses to stand for the national anthem. He probably has no respect for me, that’s his choice.

“It’s something that as I’ve gained more knowledge about, what’s gone in this country in the past, what’s going on now”. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way”. “Now, if they don’t want to look for them, then you can find problems with anything”.

In March, Ditka, a well-known conservative, called Obama “the worst president we’ve ever had”. However, Ditka is hardly alone in this thinking. (Hopefully people will actually listen).

“They didn’t know what to do”, Arnold told the newspaper.

Colin Kaepernick is the most disliked player in the National Football League, according to an E-Poll Marketing Research poll that asked 1,100 Americans whose demographics were representative of the general population. Kaepernick just wants change. And it has disrupted that organization.

Kaepernick, who has been on the receiving end of plenty of insults and boos since his protest began, said his critics don’t care about what’s going on or they don’t understand it.

Kaepernick’s Twitter account is filled with re-tweets of videos and accounts of other athletes and fans either following his example and declining to stand during the Anthem or raising their fists.
