The advancement of civil rights in this nation requires protests of this very nature -- with something personal at risk of loss to the protester, like Ali, and MLK, and Malcolm X -- and compels by force of conscience people who look like me to stand, or sit, with them.
It's called the First Amendment. There's a reason the Founders put it ahead of the Second one, after all, and if you're a Second Amendment person but not a First one, then you're an asshole. But just so we're clear, let's be certain that we all understand that your right to complain about Kaepernick is included within his right to sit during the anthem.
Because we also know this has nothing to do with the First Amendment.
And now... let's all STFU about this trivial matter. But before we do, let's give the #VeteransforKaepernick the last word.
