This was it, this was the point of taking a knee
Remember this before they change it. Because they are already doing it.
You know what’s even more crazy about this is that initially he was sitting on the bench the first few times and no one noticed until a teammate, Eric Reid, asked if they could join in on the protest. Kaepernick received a letter by Nate Boyer, who is a Green Beret and previously played with the Seahawks. In it he explained that in the military, soldiers take a knee to show respect for the graves of fallen brothers. Kaepernick invited him to a game and Boyer accepted. Though Boyer didn’t take a knee, he stood next to Kaepernick in solidarity. Kaepernick changed his protest to best show how he felt about it and he still is getting backlash about “not respecting the flag.”
