It was recommended by Boyer (green beret, soldier, patriot and respecter of the flag) AFTER Kip was already protesting by sitting on a bench. He was trying to get the idiot to show some respect. Boyer recalls. "And, you know, he asked me to do it with him. And I said, 'Look, I'll stand next to you. I gotta stand though. I gotta stand with my hand on my heart. That's just-- that's just what I do and where I'm from.'"
Boyer was just trying to help a teammate out even though he didn’t agree with Kap. That’s what soldiers who fight for their country and flag do.
You know what’s funny? All that money that Kap keeps raking in has white pre-civil war presidents on it. Go figure. What a hypocrite.
