Former 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, who is now a free agent, first kneeled during The Star-Spangled Banner last August, in protest against police brutality and racial injustice. Last week, Donald Trump said any “son of a bitch” who kneeled during the anthem should be “fired”.
The president’s comments drew a widespread response among NFL teams with players dropping to their knee during the anthem. Even the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, a staunch supporter of Trump, took the knee albeit not during the anthem.
We’d like to hear your views on the protests as well as your reaction to Trump’s comments.
