Just in case you've forgotten, or never realized, we're having the wrong debate over this whole national anthem nonsense. What we keep debating is whether it's appropriate for athletes, led by crappy 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick, to sit or take a knee during the anthem as a way of protesting racist police brutality against blacks.
What should they do to take their oh-so-brave stand? Should they sit? Take a knee? Lock arms together? How should these heroic truthtellers draw attention to the plight of black men at the hands of bigoted white cops?
Those are the questions we've been debating ever since Kaepernick started this nonsense during the NFL preseason. What we should be asking is why anyone thinks there's an epidemic of racist police brutality toward black men at all. Yes, I know about the news reports you've seen, although I bet you haven't heard how discredited some of them turned out to be.
