Calipari defends himself after Yahoo Sports article on anthem protest

As everyone is well aware, John Calipari knelt alongside his team during the national anthem at Florida last Saturday. The peaceful protest has divided the fanbase in the days since, and just when it seemed like most were ready to turn the page, a blogger for Yahoo Sports had to come and stir things up.

Jason Owens published an article yesterday blasting Calipari for some of his comments on the team’s decision to kneel, calling the Hall of Fame coach a failure to his players. Calipari has addressed the subject numerous times, first after the Florida game, then on his call-in show Monday night, and again after the game Tuesday night.
