Willie Robertson debates protest kneeling at NFL games with players: 'Feels a little un-American'

Former “Duck Dynasty” stars Willie and Kori Robertson debated the issue of NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem on their Facebook Watch series “At Home With the Robertsons.” 

The protest was started in 2016 by Colin Kaepernick who noted at the time that he was choosing to kneel in an effort to protest and draw attention to systemic racism and police brutality in the country. The move sparked a massive debate as critics began to see the movement pick up steam among other players and argued that it was disrespectful to the flag and military members who may be in attendance at games.  Kori noted that she wanted to understand the racial aspect of the protest given that they have a Black son. However, she admitted after the conversation that she previously was in the camp of people who thought kneeling for the anthem is a disrespectful gesture.
