He wears a bandana on his head to cover his wounds. I've not shared this here, but I live in veterans housing. 15 in my building, 9 next door and nine next door to that. We talk sports often and to a man, nobody thinks much of Kapernick. We don't think he's getting a rotten deal, and an overwhelmingly majority of vets feel the same.
Speak for yourself. I have my own mouth, eyes and ears. If it bans me because you are a paid PA vendor, so be it.

Jimmy, you've not offended me. Everyone has a right to their opinion.
I thought I made it pretty clear that I was speaking for myself. Did I not?
But I must admit that I am confused. Are you saying that you are in favor of or alright with them not playing the anthem so that some people would not be offended?
