We asked a few vikings on how they feel about the recent protest in the NFL? Do they support the silent anthem protest? These are their answers.
“That’s not right. I think people have literally died so that we can stand up and pledge allegiance to our flag and our country.”
— Katie Pierce, English literature
“I totally agree with him being able to do it but I think he’s dumb for doing it. It’s basically saying, ‘Man I don’t like this country.’”
— Gabriel Garcia, sound recording tech
“Some people are blowing it out of proportion, saying it’s racist but it’s not really. They’re just trying to make a change.”
— Brandon Obregon, business
“I mean it’s their right to do it. I’d rather stand for the anthem myself. Do I feel like they should find another way to protest? Maybe.”
— Adin Ducker, kinesiology
“There have just been a lot of unnecessary killings around the United States and for the athletes to take a stand by not standing for the anthem, I think that takes real bravery. It’s making a difference since people are listening.”
— Sara Meador, radio/tv
