Many in the sports world are angry [1]at Colin Kaepernick’s arrogant refusal to stand for the National Anthem. Just because he has the right not to stand, does not mean he isn’t going to have to face the consequences of the ire of his fellow athletes. Read on for some reactions to Kaepernick’s self aggrandizing, ungrateful stance.
From Young Conservatives:
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick really stepped in it when he refused to stand for the National Anthem during a recent preseason game, and plenty of people aren’t happy about it.
Here are some reactions from current and former football players (and one former baseball player).
I will be STANDING during the National Anthem tonight. Thank you to ALL (Gender,Race,Religion)that put your lives on the line for that flag

Easy way to make sure you're NOT the starting QB on opening day. #Sept11[4] https://t.co/DyQrIOGGO5[5]

This guy is a joke. Get lost. You don't like it in a country that has given you opportunity to succeed? Then get out https://t.co/Dwssw2I1zA[7]

There are plenty of other nations out there, Colin. How about if this one is so awful, you pack your bags, give back the millions and head to one of them. No doubt you’ll have the same opportunities for success and wealth that you have here…NOT. Americans are tired of arrogant stars who’ve become rich here, because of the opportunities afforded them by our free society, and then betray them by hating on America and giving the proverbial finger to the fans who have made him so rich. You can choose not to stand, but you can’t avoid the consequences of that poor decision. Cuba awaits Mr. Kaepernick.
