It was early morning on a Sunday. I opened up my laptop and what is the first thing I see? Marshawn Lynch of the Oakland Raiders “refused” to stand for the National Anthem during a glorified scrimmage.
I did my best not to hit the comment button, but curiosity got the best of me. There in front of me on the screen were complete strangers tossing heated opinions around like deflated footballs.
On the drive to work I thought about the man Marshawn Lynch, not the football player. I asked myself many questions as to why he would do this, with the whole Colin Kaepernick situation still extremely ripe, thanks to media of the social and professional kind.
