There are many stories about the "disrespect" of Colin Kaepernick's protest against the killing of unarmed black men in this country, but I was curious if anyone actually stands for the national anthem anymore without peer pressure?
I know I don't when I'm watching games at home. I was listening to the WIP (a sports radio station in Philadelphia) and they were saying people used to stand out of principle. The host said he doesn't stand or salute when watching games at home either.
Do you remember people standing when The Star Spangled Banner was played on the radio or television in your home?
How many people protesting Colin Kaepernick "respect" the flag out of principle versus the pressure of being ostracized or harassed at a public event?
I feel it's just an excuse to silence people calling out racial discrimination. I'm genuinely curious if this is something normal for this country before the 90s.
