San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick began the trend during the preseason as he refused to stand for The Star-Spangled Banner and caught heat previously from Trump.
The crowd went wild while Rock continued to perform in front of a giant American flag.
“A few people just in general I’ve had conversations with about that, I tell ’em the same thing, people’s beliefs are people’s beliefs, you know what I mean, you can only control so much, you can only control what you can control, and the most things you can control is yourself”, Oladipo said.
Other NFL players have joined Kaepernick’s protest by taking a knee or raising their fists during the anthem before games. Like you said, Kid, he was “born free”. “Freedom is only free because there are people willing to sacrifice to keep us free”. “I respect it, and I respect what’s going on and I have some personal opinions on that, but for us, we’re not really affected by that because we’re always in the locker room”. “But I think that comes along with people’s fear of this protest.as well as Islamophobia in this country”. Your reaction to the anthem, and not Kaepernick’s, is what counts. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way”.
On Saturday, one football player from Indiana State University and one from the University of Tulsa knelt during the national anthem at games their teams were playing.
