People who love this land and want the people who belong to it, to thrive.

Well done article, Thanks OP!

This article generalizes so much it doesn't deserve publication. I'd be offended if it wasn't the NYT.

I don't think Kaepernick is a patriot, and neither are the people like the Alabama pastor who believe that people like Kaepernick should be shot. Patriots are people who respect the constitution.

Not that I agree with what he did/does (but I support his right to do it), but what did Kaepernick do that didn't respect the Constitution? I don't recall a line that says we have to stand for the national anthem or even that we have to pledge allegiance.

Yeah, I was off base there. After thinking it over, I'll clarify that he isn't doing something patriotic. His recent actions don't make him a patriot.
