But Ben McLemore is not of the same opinion. His thoughts align more closely with those shared by NFL owners: "You should always represent our nation," Ben says. "That's how I feel. I think you always should."

Why couldn’t the headline writer just use his actual quote rather than make up something he did not actually say?

“You should always represent our nation,” is not ‘Kneeling NFL players don’t represent our nation.”

The kneeling players HATTE our nation. They hate freedom and love Cuba (Kapernick and others), Venezuela, N Korea for the equality (of suffering) that they provide. There is no one to envy except the rulers who are gods.
