IRVINE, Calif. -- Jeff Fisher's profound respect for the national anthem was noticeable during a recent episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks", which aired footage of a team meeting in which the Los Angeles Rams coach walked his players through the proper way to salute the flag before games. But Fisher wanted no part of the controversy that has engulfed San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is sitting during the national anthem -- his way to raise awareness for racial oppression in the United States.
"I know it's a societal issue, but I don't feel like it's my place to comment," Fisher said during Sunday's availability.
