Army Veteran Suggested Colin Kaepernick Kneel During National Anthem

Nate Boyer, former Seattle Seahawks snapper, and army veteran, was the one who advise Kaepernick to take a kneel instead of sitting.

“I expressed to him, maybe there’s a different way of demonstrating, where you’re showing more respect for those who laid down their lives for what that flag and anthem stand for.

“I suggested kneeling, because people kneel to pray; we’ll kneel in front of a fallen brother’s grave.”

Kaepernick, and many other NFL players who have taken the same approach have been called “unpatriotic” for kneeling during the anthem.
