As details of the tragic elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, continue to unfold, San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler on Friday wrote that he is "not okay with the state of this country" and that he "felt like a coward" for not protesting "the lack of delivery on the promise of what our national anthem represents."
Kapler, in a blog post published Friday on his lifestyle brand website, said he was disappointed in himself for not making some sort of protest during the playing of the national anthem on Wednesday.
An 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday in Uvalde, Texas.
