Colin Kaepernick is introduced to a US Marine who also didn't stand for the national anthem

Claiming a cause “bigger than football,” San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” Friday night at the opening of a preseason game with the Green Bay Packers.

But he was quickly put in his place by the image of a wounded warrior.

The $126 million player claimed that the flag represents “a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”

But when this photograph of a U.S. Marine standing proudly as tall as he could hit social media, it put everything into proper perspective.

Kaepernick refusing to stand for natl anthem is his right. Here’s a Marine, who can’t stand, because he defended it pic.twitter.com/mLjTUPQ2pm
