Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, who bristled at the notion Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed by the NFL, has spoken out against the free-agent quarterback's method of protest.
"I don’t think anybody who is protesting the national anthem … is very respectful," Lurie said in an interview Wednesday with Marcus Hayes of Philly.com. "If that’s all their platform is, is to protest the national anthem, then what’s the proactive nature of it?"
Lurie was also critical of what he felt is a lack of proactiveness from Kaepernick since beginning his protest last season with the San Francisco 49ers.
