    That isn't really the way that works. People could hold the same opinion and just not protest. Or see a the song in a different light. Or just do it because it's easier than not doing it.

    I'm pretty sure that's how most people treat the anthem. They're not standing because they have some deep respect for whatever public servants we're choosing to say the song honors. They're standing because everyone else is and it seems out of place not to.

    He should have the same empathy for sideline reporters.

    ECU has closed for the week due to the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. I wonder if they'll try to move the game to Annapolis.

    Prepare for social media meltdown as 49ers announce Kaepernick to start Sunday.
