Jesse gary ktvu fox news. 30 minutes ago we spoke with a navy veteran and 49er fan in san diego. It is a city with a large military presence. But Kevin Mitchell says hes not hearing a lot of criticism from his fellow veterans. How many of us do you think sitting at home watching a game stand up for the National Anthem . But if were at a game i bet they would. Cameras arent on they dont. Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is along. So therefore were all wrong if were not standing up even when were at home right. Mitchell is a member of a san diego based 9ers fan club called the 619. The 9ers are playing the chargers in a preseason game this thursday and might have el says he will be there. Our sports director geophones he joins us with more on this. Former 489er coach jim harbaugh weighed in today. Interestingly enough as far as the 49er locker room is concerned this is the story thats already had its shelf life. It was yesterday that kaepernick met with reporters in front of his locker and in an 18 minute question and answer session further elaborated on his first statement that was publicized on saturday. Most of the leaders in the 49er locker room also weighed in yesterday. One very significant voice was heard today. It was during Jim Harbaughs tenure as the 49er head coach that caber nick first came to nfl prominence. Harbaugh as in his second year as the head coach of the universities of michigan today was asked about his former quarterback. I acknowledge his right to do that, but i dont respect the motivation or the action. Harbaugh later amended that statement in a tweet he said i apologize for misspeaking my true sentiments to char fee i support collins motivation. It is his method of action that i take exception to. Players with connections to kaepernick are obviously being asked to weigh in. Strong comments yesterday from one of kaepernicks former teammates offensive lineman alex boone who now plays for the minnesota vikings. I wasnt surprised i was upset and disappointed. I mean like i said, earlier, that nag gives you the right to do whatever you want and i understand that. Anquan said that i agree with that. But at the same time you have to show some respect. Especially in this position were in where were playing a game for a living and its just shameful. Im a very emotional person. So i think if i had known that my emotions would have been rolling we probably would have had a problem on the sideline. He has already addressed his teammates. Blaine gabbert is the starting quarterback before caber nicks statement. Chip kelly said only performance on the field will determine who plays. This is type of issue that could divide a locker room dynamic every Football Team tries to avoid. We all respect each other as human beings. Yeah we all have different opinions on certain subjects you but football brings everybody together. Socio economic backgrounds, different ways you were raised, but the great thing about this sport is were here for a common goal working together for that. Every guy on this team is entitled to their opinion and you know were all grown men. We play ultimate team sport and we ask a lot of guys to come together no matter what their beliefs is no matter how they were brought up to be one common goal thats the win Football Games anything outside of that is not really important to the team. What the players have expressed is the epitome of team sports putting the feelings of the individual second to the good of the team. The 49ers are not a team that figured to get a lot of National Attention this year. That has certainly changed. Sure has its one thing to think about Colin Kaepernick you cant help but also think about tommy smith and john carlos and what they did at the olympics in mexico in 1968 on the medal stand youll recall they raised their fists in a sign of black power and they both ended up paying a big price for that. Today we spoke to tommy smith and asked him about Colin Kaepernick. My goodness is he prepared for the outlandish treatment hes going to get because of his belief in parity. He has a sacrifice and its probably going to be quite great because hes up against red, white and blue, which covers the whole United States and its love and hearing one person sitting down because its flying. When you think back on tommy smith and john carlos and youve talked to both of them as well especially john carlos, they paid a real steep price for doing what they believed was right. Theres no question about that frank. And what i think were seeing in todays modern athletes, athletes are very reluctant to come forward with their opinions because it could potentially cost them endorsement money. I think in that step whether you agree or not with the method that Colin Kaepernick has used, i think you have to agree that he took an unbelievable stand in terms of what modern athletes do today. And im pretty sure that he had no idea that this thing would get as big as it has. You dont think . I dont think so. Im sure he knew it was going to get big. I dont think on the national level. The fact he did it during the National Anthem a lot of people are saying if you want to express his opinion go ahead an express your opinion everyone has a right to do that the fact he did it during the National Anthem angered a lot of people because people say its disrespectful for the military veterans. I got a message from a woman who said you know what, i served in the United States air force for 6 years so that someone like Colin Kaepernick could sit down during the National Anthem. Thats what both sides of the arguments are. Obviously for many people the National Anthem is considered sacred and you do nothing to desecrate the National Anthem. Other people would say those are exactly the freedoms people are out this fighting for which demonstrates both sides of the argument. But i think the thing that probably was not anticipated about this is now every place the 49ers go, every single National Anthem in which they participate you know where the cameras are going to be focused now. If anybody thought this was going to be a one week thing thats going to go away and the publicity will blow over that will be the focus of the attention every single type they take the field from now on. For sure you talked about earlier debate that it causes like personal beliefs versus the good of the team is this going to cause a huge distraction of the 49ers moving forward. They are all saying no it wont. And that is as i measuringed epitome of a team sport there are 53 diverge event beliefs in different parts of the country you are supposed to put that behind you for the good of the team. Its one thing to say that. If you have a very divisive i issue within the locker room it might be different to practice that. That remains to be seen. You have to say whether you agree with he did or dont degree it took a lot of guts to do it. It punt him out there. You can make the same case for muhammad ali for the statement he made originally when he refused to be inducted. Those were no received well initially. Only the period of time feeling softened on that and those people were seen in a different lens than they were when things originally happened. And as tommy smith said tommy smith knows what thats about. Tommy smith couldnt get work. John carlos couldnt get work when they came back they were sent home from the olympics in 1968. They paid a heavy price. Whether or not Colin Kaepernick will lets see how this plays out. This is the start of the football season well definitely be watching. Not talking too much xes and os.
