    It is disrespectful but he has every right to not stand.

    everyone who cares needs to move on

    Being punished for not standing for the National Anthem is the beginning of transformation into Orwell's "1984".

    He doesn't support the anthem, for its racist context. He's not a patriot because his country stands with those police officers who commit heinous murders of young black men on a regular basis.

    nationalism is a method of social control and should be rejected by citizens in 'free countries'

    it stifles dissent, divides the people and allows the ruling class to continue running your country in their favour

    The most surprising thing about this all is that Kaepernick found a way to be very relevant again, never thought that would've happened a couple months ago.

    if i ever placed a song & a piece of cloth, despite what it represents over humanity & equality I'd wanna be dragged and shamed to humble my ignorant a---..
    I'm white myself, my wife is black, our kids will be seen as black regardless of my a---, I'm sensitive to that. And for the reasoning behind Kaepernick's stance I'm 100% behind him.

    Imagine standing to salute the national anthem of a country that could legitimately allow a man like Donald Trump to potentially lead it lmao. I'll sit this song out il get up for the next one.

    I'd like to tell you guys, as someone that's in the military, you should see how folks on a military installation react when the national anthem/reveille/colors play. They avoid being outside like the plague so that they don't have to stand at attention and/or salute.
