President Obama on Monday defended San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand during the playing of the national anthem.
"[H]e's following his constitutional right to make a statement," Obama said at a press conference in Hangzhou, China, responding to a question about the quarterback. "I think there's a long history of sports figures doing so."
The president added, "I don't doubt his sincerity. I think he cares about some real, legitimate issues that have to be talked about. And if nothing else, he's generated some conversation around some topics that need to be talked about it."

The Royal Idiot also undoubtedly agrees with the dumb jock's decision to don pig socks.
Weeeeeelllllll.....of course he does.
“I think there’s a long history of sports figures doing so.”
Yeah, just ask Curt Schilling.
Oh wait......
Obama never misses an opportunity to get on the wrong side.
The ‘Great Uniter” speaks.
the day barack hussein gave back the Winston Churchill bust, I knew where we were headed.
No one cares anymore what Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota president says any more.
“And if nothing else, he’s generated some conversation around some topics that need to be talked about it.”
Zero got that part right... The man converts to muslem and sits for the anthem. Yet were importing hundreds of thousands of muzzy a$$holes in to this country. Yea, it does need to be talked about.
Returning the Churchill bust should be President Trump’s top priority.
I defend his right to protest, but not his reasons for the protest. Regardless, when entitled idiots want to protest, they’ve got to take the blowback.
I was dumbfounded when this utter jerk was ‘elected’ President a second time. I can’t really believe a majority of voters didn’t see what is as plain as day.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a president that doesn’t hate America? Is that too much to expect?
I was surprised the first time.
Obama has such a dinky mind. Back in ‘08, when even conservatives were calling him an evil genius, I pegged him at average at best, but more probably slightly below average. That’s been my opinion for 7+ years—but today it changed. Today I dinged him another 5 IQ points for the sheer lame stupidity of that answer. His small-minded, stale, cramped intellectual efforts are painful to watch.
Or Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas.
How does a president do such a thing? This is unconscionable.
I can’t wrap my head around such a thing.
“I was dumbfounded when this utter jerk was elected President a second time.”
You got that right: “Elected”. If they were that accomplished at cheating in 2012, just think how much better they’ll be four years later.
I have to keep repeating: God is in control. God is in control. God is in control. God is in control. God is in control. God is in control.
