As more and more Americans chime in about San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick over his ignorant refusal to stand for the National Anthem, we turn to the New York Giants to see how they responded in a respectful and utterly silent way that spoke volumes.
Late last week, Kapernick refused to stand for the anthem because, he says, the USA is filled with racists that won’t let minorities get ahead… um, despite that he is a minority, has been made a multi-millionaire, and is famous… but we won’t let facts get in the way of his feeeelings.
All weekend Americans have been slamming the player and his team for the whole thing. As far as the 49ers are concerned, they support Kapernick 100%… it IS San Francisco, after all.
But the New York Giants replied to the stand/no stand controversy by doing this on Saturday…

Plainly, while San Francisco is infested with anti-Americans, we find that the Big Apple isn’t.
