Over the weekend the sports world has been embroiled with the controversial subject of whether or not sports figures and people with a platform should protest during the national anthem. During this same weekend, I attended the Coyotes preseason home game against the San Jose Sharks.
I chose to stand.
This decision did not come lightly or without a great deal of thought put behind it because I agree with the protesters. I agree that police violence against unarmed citizens is wrong, it needs to stop and when it does happen perpetrators should be prosecuted.
