Personally, (and I guess this needs to be said) I supported Kaepernick’s decision to not stand as a form of protest. It was subtle, poignant, and about as far away from “attention seeking” as one can get. Honestly, the only reason it got so much media coverage was because people who disagreed with him wouldn’t shut up…

And yet, somehow, there is a not insignificant number of people who think Kaep is profiting from the stance he took, that he is only protesting for publicity*.
