Anthem: Kaepernick can't identify with regular folks

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick needs to stop his inequity whining and show he can bring all races together. This means leveling the playing field and socializing with and sharing his wealth and life with everyone.

After all, most citizens of the U.S. work, shop, attend school, worship and live a diverse day-to-day existence in which we have the same opportunities as any other person. Maybe Kaepernick should go out into the regular world and see how us regular people earn our paychecks.

Instead of sitting on the bench and being paid millions to play football and represent a team, he and his followers should see the real diverse working teams in America who proudly stand when “The Star Spangled Banner” is played.
