Admiral rips Kaepernick in Pearl Harbor speech


For the second time this week, a member of the armed forces has ripped Colin Kaepernick over his national anthem protest.

On Monday, a former Marine said on FOX News that the San Francisco 49ers QB should "go sign a contract to play in Cuba." And on Wednesday, during a Pearl Harbor 75th anniversary event in Honolulu, U.S. Pacific Commander Admiral Harry Harris had this to say during a speech:

"You can bet that the men and women we honor today and those who died that faithful morning 75 years ago never took a knee and never failed to stand whenever they heard our national anthem being played."

While he didn't name Kaepernick specifically, it was obvious who he was referring to.
