Despite the fact that the San Diego Chargers made it as tough as possible for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to keep up his anti-American antics, he didn’t stand for the national anthem again on Thursday.
He, and his teammate Eric Reid, knelt while a black serviceman, Steven Powell, sang the anthem to start the Chargers “Salute to the Military” night.

And what a salute it was, with 240 military members forming a giant flag on the field and a nearly entire stadium full of people standing.

The quarterback was serenaded with boos from the packed crowd.
But one reporter had the audacity to call him “courageous” for his effort.

And social media teed off on both of them.
Are you referencing the guy in the white hat or the millionaire refusing to stand with his teammates? https://t.co/IcViY3W2fo

@EdgeofSports Damn straight. That Marine is the epitome of courage.

@EdgeofSports the guy in the white hat, for sure, the millionaire sitting like a baby, not so much

The person on the left is courage, the one on the right is a fu@king punk pic.twitter.com/bufrbcxxv9— rod l (@cdnrod) September 2, 2016
@EdgeofSports That isn’t what courage looks like. That’s a spoiled child looking for attention.The marine in front of him symbolizes courage

@mike4libertyCA @CounterMoonbat @EdgeofSports When Caitlyn Jenner is the ESPN definition of courage, what do you expect?

@EdgeofSports
No.
Sitting down, surrounded by security, is not, in any way, “courage”.— (((Nala the Koala))) (@nalathekoala) September 2, 2016
@EdgeofSports yeahhhhh you’re kinda pushing it there. How about “This is what principled looks like”? Courage is running into danger.
