Indiana Pacers legend Reggie Miller was on Chelsea Handler’s Netflix show when he was asked about the controversy surrounding players kneeling, or otherwise protesting, during the national anthem.
Miller said that despite his own feelings about showing respect during the anthem, he stands with Colin Kaepernick and other players who use the time to protest.
Miller may not join Kaepernick down on a knee. But he wouldn’t want to stop him, either.
“I’m an Air Force brat. … It was kind of ingrained for us to stand up at attention and respect it,” he said.
