Colin Kaepernick is inciting the public by refusing to stand for the national anthem.
Maybe we should make it illegal to sit or kneel while the national anthem is being played. While we're at it, we might as well make it law that you must put your hand over your heart during the playing of the anthem, or any time a government vehicle passes by displaying the flag. And absolutely no crossing your fingers while you do it.
Kneeling during an anthem is not violent or destructive. Burning a flag contains a veiled threat.
Kaepernick is a fool, but he is just a symptom of the greater problem. Owners and franchises can set their own standards of behavior, yet they continually field felons and reprobates.
Flag burning is more of the same. The issue is rarely the issue. Which is worse, burning our flag or raising children to hate it on the taxpayers’ dime?
