I do not support nor do I oppose Kaepernick’s actions. I do understand that the American flag is a very important symbol to our great country but i also believe that people may express their point or how they feel( the freedom the speech). Kaepernick said that the reason he didn’t stand was to prove a point about America and about racism against color people. I personally have experiencioned racism towards me in many occasions and it is very offending. So I see how he is trying to tell people it’s

Right to Protest Why hate someone who wants a problem to be solved? In the article it states “In the midst of a divisive election year‚ an important discussion about race‚ class‚ and violence was abandoned by the news media.” So why disagree with Kaepernick with wanting to solve this? Pro athletes haven’t gone too far‚ for a few reasons. To start‚ Racial inequality was forgotten by the media. Once again‚ the article says that the important discussion about the racism‚ and the violence was abandoned

This issue intersects the idea of a white man’s dream and parallels Coates’s thoughts on how his family “would not stand for their anthems” (Coates 28). Colin Kaepernick‚ a NFL football player‚ started this movement by deciding to sit while our nation’s anthem played through Levi’s Stadium.

Whether one stands‚ sits‚ or kneels during the National Anthem is their own right- as exemplified with Collin Kaepernick who has knelt for the National Anthem these last couple of years. This results in NFL teams straying away from picking him up out of free agency during the off season. Though a team may be in need of a quarter back‚ coaches/the NFL are not putting

America; Land of The Diverse What it means to be an American is an incredibly subjective question. Millions of people worldwide have their own definition‚ which has been developed over countless years and diverse experiences.

some people dishonor our National Anthem by either sitting down for it or kneeling down hint Kaepernick. Anyone can disrespect the National Anthem‚ but then they have to deal with the people who actually care about the Anthem and our country.
