WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has called the protests of football players who decline to stand for the national anthem "dumb and disrespectful."
In a wide-ranging interview posted Monday on Yahoo, Ginsburg said she had the same opinion about flag burning.
"I think it's a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn't lock a person up for doing it," she said. "I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act."
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other athletes have received national attention for refusing to stand for the anthem this year.
