Why Colin Kaepernick Didn’t Stand for the National Anthem

When the national anthem was broadcasted on Friday evening before the start of the pre - season battle with Green Bay Packers, the Quarterback Colin Kapnik of San Francisco 49ers took a stand that was not standing.

In explaining this gesture, Kaepernick said he decided to sit down as a statement against racial repression.

"I can not stand up and be proud of the flag of the country that suppresses black people and people of color," he told NFL media in an interview on Saturday.

"For me, this is more important than football, I have a selfish view of the other," he said.

On his Twitter Twitter, Kaepernick summarized the schedule of events discovering racial, political, and police actions in a national discourse, including a white superiorist protest in front of N.A.A.C.P. Articles on how Houston-based, Arizona teenagers had to change their Black Lives Matters shirt and deadly police to shoot black men armed with Milwaukee

"There is a corpse on the street, people are killed off on vacation," he said.

According to NFL media reports, Kaepernick has been adopted by white parents for mixed blood, talked about their feelings with their families and decided to act more actively after having experienced a civil war in recent years.

"This is not what I want to be done by someone," he said. "I am not seeking approval, I have to confront a person who is oppressed."

He continued, "If they take away football, my support knows I stand up and do the right thing"

49ers said in a statement that the demonstration before the national anthem game is an occasion to celebrate the country and provide freedom to the people.

"When we respect the American principles such as religious freedom and freedom of speech, we are aware that individuals have the right to participate in a celebration of our national anthem," the team says It was.

In the statement, "In the performance of the national anthem, players are encouraged, but there is no need to stand up."

After the game, San Jose Mercury News reported in a blog post that Kimper Nick was not asked about his decision at a press conference where Green Bay won 21-10. While his team mate stood between the national anthem, I noticed that Kaepernick was sitting in the sideline before the cold water.

Kaepernick did not participate in the first two games because of shoulder pain. However, reporters of the NFL network stated that before these games, Kuiper Nick had been sitting during the national anthem.

He is actually pre-season. Nobody noticed. I was wearing a uniform for the first time last night. https://t.co/rkNrPgHZrz

Do you know that NFL players are not used to supporting national anthem before 2009? Prior to that, players are usually in the locker room, not in court. Apart from the recent history of NFL, Colin Kapnik was unable to hold his ridiculous controversial demo at any time. Do you know what happened to the recent history of NFL? The Department of Defense and the National Guard have invested millions of dollars in NFL for the demonstration of patriotism. This is a recruitment event. In order to plant seeds of patriotism, it has been used to create a world of bloodshed that supports the collapse of the world by the hearts of young fans. People are actually calling for images of dead soldiers to condemn protests at the foundation founded by the facility.

As regards Colin Kaepernick's ongoing protest, everyone talks about one thing on the same page: Choosing not to represent national anthem is a distinguishable sign of protest. Since being standing is a habit, it makes no sense as a statement. Like all patriotic ceremonies, the national anthem is neither eternal nor congenital. Relatively speaking, it has history - not a long history. 100 years ago, the United States did not have a formal national anthem. And this country is about to enter the end of World War I fight, so this is considered a good time to acquire the country. Star spun banners created by Francis Scott Key in 1814 and popular in the 19th century are the most powerful candidates. The military adopted it, it is not completely holy - it is set as an old drinking song, it plays with a pub and a military parade
