Broncos coach Gary Kubiak turned personal Monday when asked about the swirling controversy around San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his decision to sit during the national anthem.
“My dad taught me two things that I believe in strongly,” Kubiak said. “He told me to believe in my values and those types of things in life and obviously I believe in our country and the national anthem very strongly. But at the same time, he taught me to respect other people’s beliefs and values, so I do that.”
Kubiak said that he would like Broncos players to stand for the national anthem, but he doesn’t mandate it.
