That's quite clearly not true.
Over in the politics section, youtube comments, twitter, social media, even on Fox News there are clearly a large number of people who not only say they disagree with how he is protesting, but they fundamentally disagree with what he is protesting, they equate his protest to groups like the KKK, you even have congressman calling him a terrorist sympathiser, so you have to wonder whether at least some of the resistance comes from a place of thinly veiled racism.
I mean, when Ricky Hatton (the boxer) fought in Las Vegas against Floyd Mayweather, the The Star-Spangled Banner was completely drowned out with boos. That was far more disrespectful than anything Colin Kaepernick has done, but as far as I'm aware, it didn't receive anything near the same amount of criticism. In fact I never heard a word said against it. If a few people did voice their criticisms, it certainly wasn't on the scale of what Colin Kaepernick has received just for getting on one knee.
So where is the outrage here?
