How "unpatriotic" he was for taking a knee?
How he did it in front of the military present at the game and how awful that was?

Where is this outrage now?

(82,849 posts)Then Kaepernick started taking a knee during the pointless, endless playing of the national anthem before sporting events, and their outrage changed to "Not like that! Protest some way that's quiet, doesn't offend our tender sensibilities, and if at all possible in a way that we don't even have to recognize."
The right wing is always howling over something, quite often something that doesn't even exist, like the Bowling Green Massacre.
