Honestly, I respect this attitude out of Murray. While I’m 100% against kneeling during the national anthem, you might as well go to the mat once you make the decision to do it.
If you’re going to get chirped by random people on the internet, you just have to stand your ground. You can’t back down.
That’s just the way it works. Once you give an inch, it’ll never stop. You have to draw a line in the sand with the internet crowd and let them know you’re not playing games.

Having said all of that, I’m still not pumped for football to turn into a political issue and massive debate.
Football is about uniting people around a common goal. It’s not about separating people over political debates.
