A furvor has developed around the NFL and the nation as a whole after San Francisco 49’er QB Collin Kaepernick opted to sit during the National Anthem. A poignant statement he claims is a silent protest about the recent rash of killings involving police officers and black men.
To the North and two states away a member of the Seattle Seahawks also made the decision to sit. After the controversy unfolded, former U.S. Green Beret Nate Boyer spoke with Kaepernick who followed his sitting with a kneel. Apparently in an effort to not disrespect the military.
