San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has said he plans to sit out the national anthem tonight, just as he did in the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers last week and other games this summer before reporters took notice.
He says his protest will continue indefinitely. When theres significant change and I feel like that flag represents what its supposed to represent in this country, Ill stand, Kaepernick told reporters Sunday.
[snip] The timing of the Military Night is coincidental, a Chargers' spokesman told the San Diego Union-Tribune earlier this week, adding that the team sponsors a Salute to the Military once every preseason.

I don’t stand / hand on heart / remove hat either and haven’t since January 22, 1973 (was senior in high school then).
The Founding Fathers didn’t pass abortion legislation. I stand for the Pledge/National Anthem in honor of them, our dear vets who’ve sacrificed for your and Kapo’s freedom to sit it out and I stand in respect and honor for God, who blessed us with this nation.
As for standing AGAINST the abhorrent, evil and detestable abortion law...I pray for God’s assistance with overturning it, I pray for this nation to wake up and I support Pregnancy Resource centers.
For playing a child’s game.
I do not stand because it is taken as an endorsement of the current regime/scheme of things much as this football player or whatever he is but in the opposite direction. Besides, empires really do fold after about two centuries and founding considerations become irrelevant.
I believe also that God has placed our nation under a chastisement; that his graces for the nation have been withdrawn; that the time to reverse the grievous abortion decision is long past; that we get the presidential candidates we deserve; and that things will only get worse from here on out.
Just keep sitting on your butt, when the pledge of allegiance or National Anthem for the nation HE so richly blessed plays, then.
I’ll keep standing, and praying, in honor of my God and the servicemen/women who’ve died for your right to do that.
I wonder if the 49ers can put him on the inactive list for the game so that he doesn’t suit up. That may also keep him from the sideline with the team.
It has actually been a long term since I’ve attended any event where such was played and have no plans to do so.
At this point its best to ignore him completely. Dont give him the attention he so obviously craves.
This. He is clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer and someone smarter than him has convinced him that “being down with the cause” is worth torching the rest of his already crippled career. I heard his interview and it made little sense to me (or him apparently).
Oooh...how tempting THAT would be! You could throw bacon bits, every time San Diego scored ;-)
I agree....ok I know he’s an idiot, he’s setting it up so he looks like a martyr when he gets cut....
why post anymore articles about him....he’s a nobody now..
unless he gets on the khardashians show for some reason
Great reply! Visitors side, HA!
I don’t think I’d pay to watch that traitor sit on the flag, either. Especially, when Louie makes such devoted company.
I would like to watch the opening of the game, actually, and see the reaction to this piece of work, as he once again shows off to keep his radical girlfriend.
GO get ‘em, San Diego!
How special you must feel. Bet you are too. Most of the snowflakes are special.
Legends in their own minds.

PATRIOT POSEUR ALERT!
I’m sure that’s true. In certain places you would get your face stomped in, and wouldn’t have to worry yourself. You wouldn’t be able to even see the flag, or hear the National Anthem.
Non sequitur. I do attend my Latin Mass and recite the words “nation which is not holy”.
I wonder if they’d throw things at him in Cincinnati.
KISS OFF. Your holy cover is as fake and non-existent as your patriotism, bro!
