Interesting... Kaepernick was not the first athlete to not stand during the anthem

The NFL only started playing the National Anthem with players on the field rather recently, I think. Well after 9/11 if I'm not mistaken. 2006? 2008?

 

I really think they should just revert to the old way and avoid all this.

 

Edit: The game after 9/11 but not until 2009 as the standard"

Very easy fix for those uneasy with players expressing their views in a very modest and non violent way.
