Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has never been one to shy away from giving his opinion when asked. And when he was asked about Collin Kaepernick’s right not to stand during the National Anthem in protest to racial injustice and police brutality on Tuesday, Swinney gave his opinion.
The question, would he discipline one of his players if he would not stand for the national anthem?
It’s a situation that realistically Swinney will not have to worry about. Clemson, and most college teams, are still in the locker room when the National Anthem is being performed. However, Swinney said he would not discipline a player for that if they are protesting something, but he doesn’t agree with the method.
