Former Chicago Bears coach and ESPN analyst Mike Ditka is just the latest to go after Colin Kaepernick for his stance against the national anthem.

Speaking on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, Ditka fired shots at Kaepernick and his decision to kneel during the national anthem:
"I think it's a problem...anybody who disrespects this country and the flag" said Ditka. "If they don't like the country they don't like our flag...get the hell out."
"I have no respect for Colin Kaepernick - he probably has no respect for me, that's his choice" said Ditka. "My choice is, I like this country, I respect our flag, and I don't see all the atrocities going on in this country that people say are going on."
Ditka's comments come on the heels of Trent Dilfer's comments, where he told Kaepernick it was his job to "sit in the shadows."
Ditka has either chosen to ignore or somehow missed the "atrocities" in the country following back-to-back shootings that have rattled communities in Oklahoma and North Carolina. And that's just the latest in protests that have shaken the foundation across the United States and pushed forward the silent protests such as Kaepernick's kneeling.
Kaepernick, by all accounts, will continue to kneel during the national anthem as his movement spreads throughout the country.
