CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera didn’t slam San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick for sitting during the national anthem as a way to show his displeasure with racial oppression in the country.
He didn’t say he was offended by Kaepernick not standing for the anthem prior to Friday’s preseason game against Green Bay.
But Rivera could understand why some would be offended.
"It depends on your outlook, on the way you look at things," Rivera said on Monday said. "Again, that’s a personal thing. We all have to make our own decisions and decide where they are.
