Current event: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000691077/article/colin-kaepernick-explains-why-he-sat-during-national-anthem Colin Kaepernick is an NFL player for the San Francisco 49ers. During his preseason he decided not to stand up for the national anthem because of the country's wrongdoing to people of color. This goes along with the first amendment and the freedom of speech and freedom of belief. Technically this is constitutional and he has the right to do this but it is also offending to many people. If I were him after doing this I would do other things to help with the problem of racism and not just continue to kneel during the national anthem. After proving his point Kaepernick should have done other things to prove why he acted like this. He could have gone around to schools and talk to the kids. He also could have talked to his community police and suggest ways they can help fix the problem. I can see where he is coming from but without doing anything else to help the situation, I don’t believe it is the right thing to do
