Colin Kaepernick has spawned a movement amongst his NFL peers and many other athletes. The protest of the national anthem and the flag has been polarizing to say the least. It seems as though everybody, to varying degrees, has picked a side. And many of our faves are falling from grace like flies.

But Charles Woodson is not one of them.

The legendary cornerback/safety-turned-NFL–Countdown-host/winemaker has some thoughts about the matter that make a lot of sense – and mirror much of the community. There is no right (or wrong) time to peacefully protest or exercise our freedom of speech. And the anthem that our country holds to be so sacred isn’t exactly singing the praises of people who look like us. Colin Kaepernick and anyone else using the very rights that military men and women give their lives to protect should be respected at all times, right?

People immediately weighed in.

Charles Woodson kept it 1000 🙌🏽

And although the dissension doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon, it’s important that we’re having the conversation at all. All we can hope is that this will lead to a much deeper cultural understanding for everyone about what it means to be black in America.

But it’s safe to say that when Trent Dilfer started talking, we were all Randy Moss.
