Colin Kaepernick has denied he said he said this.

The NHL has experienced it's first protest.



Tampa Bay Lightning forward J.T. Brown raises fist during national anthem

Tampa Bay Lightning forward J.T. Brown raised his right fist during the playing of the national anthem before the team's first road game of the season.



The 27-year-old Brown, who was scratched for Tampa Bay's season-opening win against Florida, remained standing throughout the anthem Saturday night. Brown, one of approximately 30 black players in the NHL, used the same protest before a preseason game against the Panthers last month.

A CBS reporter has clarified his televised report saying quarterback Colin Kaepernick told him he would stand during the national anthem if he played in the NFL again, saying he didn't discuss the issue with the player when they spoke.



Jason La Canfora said in a series of tweets on Sunday that he was relaying previous reporting about Kaepernick and did not ask whether the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback would sit or stand during the anthem.



The reversal came after anchor James Brown asked La Canfora on "The NFL Today": "And kneeling, he said?"



La Canfora responded: "He's not planning on kneeling. He's going to donate all his jersey sales and he's planning on standing for the anthem if given the opportunity, J.B."



La Canfora tweeted later that he does not know what Kaepernick would do during the anthem.



Relying on unnamed sources, ESPN reported in March that Kaepernick would stand during the anthem if he played again. But Kaepernick has not spoken publicly about what he would do.

My thoughts exactly.



If any members of the Edmonton Oilers force their causes on  fans, I will boycott the team.

So, he didn't say it himself ... which was what I was aware of,  but interviewer said that the jerk said it to him?



Is that still correct? .. or not?

The thing is this is such a simple fix.  Just tell players to keep their politics off the field.  But the league won't do it.  Seems like they'd rather lose their fans.   what idiots.
