What residents are saying about today’s issues
What are your thoughts on Colin Kaepernick choosing not to stand for the national anthem?
CHELSEA COLLINS
Houma
I think it sucks. But I think he’s got the right to do it. That’s the beautiful thing about this country. I have the right to disagree. He has the right to do it anyway.
TOMMY GUIDRY
Houma
It’s a ploy to try and get back in the headlines. He didn’t feel this way when he was playing in the Super Bowl. Now that he’s a backup, he’s doing it.
SCOTT NEWMAN
Houma
It’s not something I would do. But it doesn’t affect me in any way, nor should it affect anyone else. It’s his preference.
SARA PRESS
Thibodaux
I feel like he’s disrespecting the people who have given their lives. Yes, they fought for his right to do that, but I still think the sacrifice itself is worth standing up for.
PATRICIA WILLIAMS
Thibodaux
It’s his choice. Me, personally, I think he should stand. I stand. I put my hand on my heart. I respect the country. But he has a different opinion.
LILY FREEMAN
Houma
It’s ugly. But I do applaud that he’s coming back and donating money and doing things to show he has peaceful intentions.
