So I was watching the Patriot's game last night and during the National Anthem I said to my husband "while this whole Kaepernick thing is going on, someone somewhere thought this- DO YOU STAND IN YOUR HOME OR IN YOUR LOCAL WATERING HOLE WHEN THE NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING A SPORTING EVENT AT YOUR LEISURE??? " And there we all are, in our homes, sitting in a Lay-Z-boy or laying on the couch... looking at the faces on the screen and judging them by what they are doing. Seeing who's standing, who's kneeling, who's doing what. And what do we really care? Why do we really care? Why does the media blow it up? Why does the camera instinctively cut to two players thrusting their fists in the air at the end of the song - is that a black panther salute??? Are we offended??? The narrators had it right... "These days everyone is trying to make a statement, and they're doing it during or around the national anthem". That was all. ...
