I agree with you on the whole, but here are 3 things I want to bring to the conversation.
On a personal note: Not a fan of Kaepernick and the 49ers, I ''support'' Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. No respect or disrespect feelings on my part. Also, as an individual choice, I always stay sit during Canadian or American national anthems before Montreal Impact's games I go.
Stefan Molyneux: ''...interestingly enough Colin is engaged to be married to Black Lives Matter activists and hip hop radio personality DJ Nessa Diab and also converted to Islam during the last football offseason. In 2014 the NFL find Kaepernick $11,025 for quote inappropriate language for supposedly using a racial slur...''
*The quotes (starting at 0m32s & at 8m00s respectively I have to precise, because apparently the ''starting at an exact time YouTube sharing option'' doesn't seem to work when adding the links to my Steemit comment) come from those two videos:
Sure, both statements are true; but if you don't like somebody for not standing during a certain song, or performing a certain cultural ritual, then you're a bigot.
Whether or not you agree with him you have to give him credit for standing up for what he believes in.
statism can be funny that way
God forbid someone go against the mob and stand up for what he believes in. Colin for president!!

I agree with the fidel castro shirt. I noticed it and intentionally didn't mention it. Ignored his stupidity! Definitely laughed at the irony though.
You are spot on with this. This is supposedly a free country, but, every time someone acts free, people go nuts.
It's as simple as "He has the right to not stand for the anthem" and "you have the right to dislike him". That's as far as it should go.

I couldn't find anything that says its illegal to be a bigot. Just don't be violent. Its a social thing. Easily dismissed ;-)
Because it's not. It's not even immoral to be a bigot... unethical? maybe? meh, but it's not illegal or immoral. That's not the point though.
