Kolin Kaepernick's protests are about.

His actions have nothing to do with dishonoring the national anthem or the flag or servicemen.

This Bennnett incident should drive home the situation Kaepernick is pointing out and shame the NFL into stopping the blackballing of Kaepernick.

when he said that people only talk about Kaepernick and his not standing, not why he is doing what he is doing. I hope all the Seahawks sit for the anthem now.

He is so correct about the fact that the cops were Hispanic would not let them off the hook. Abusive police toward black men occurs from cops with many different ethnic backgrounds. It is how black men are regarded as dangerous by the police.
