Kaepernick should stand for the National Anthem" say people who never listened to it's lyrics

An American man by the name of Joseph Duffield has come out in criticism of San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, after the football star refused to stand for the American national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner, despite never listening to it's lyrics.

He said "people died so that he might have the freedom to choose, I just don't think he is respecting that.  

Kaepernick stated last week that he doesn't want to stand for the national anthem as he doesn't believe in his country right now so therefore doesn't want to stand for something that he doesn't believe in.

This has caused mass controversy across the states.

One man by the name of Justin Manganelli said in an ill-thought-out Facebook post "Kaepernick was adopted and raised by white people, he should show some respect.  It's being raised by a white couple that got him where he is today. If he had not have been brought up by white people he may well have amounted to nothing.

Another Facebook poster by the name David Coil replied to this saying "So if he hasn't been adopted by white people and raised by blacks, he could say something?

He went on "So you're saying that if Kaepernick had not been raised by a white couple he wouldn't have been in position he's in, but then all these fucks say everyone has an opportunity to get out of any bad situation they're living in and live the American dream....hmmm.

A number of other people jumped to Kaepernick's defence, one, by the name Jenny Bergen said "If you listen carefully to the lyrics you can hear it say that Kaepernick has the right to express himself however he so wishes.  'Land of the free' - Freedom to stand or sit for a song, 'Home of the brave' - He was very brave to do what he did, he could get cut from the team for standing up, or in this case sitting down, for what he believes.
