Randy Orton Discusses Support of Black Lives Matter, Colin Kaepernick

WWE star Randy Orton detailed his support of Colin Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement on Monday. Orton previously criticized the former 49ers quarterback in 2016.

"All lives do matter, but like I said on Twitter until Black lives matter, all lives can't matter," Orton told CBS Sports' Brent Brookhouse. "My only regret is that it took me a little bit and some soul searching to see that."

Orton said he previously viewed Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem as "disrespecting the American flag." But that view has changed following the death of George Floyd.
