Gabe Kapler: ‘I do not plan on coming out for the anthem going ahead until I feel higher about the path of our country’

Talking in the dugout of the Nice American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio, Kapler said, "I don't plan on coming out for the anthem going ahead till I really feel better about the route of our nation."

"We weren't given bravery, and we aren't free. The police on the scene put a mom in handcuffs as she begged them to go in and save her youngsters. They blocked mother and father trying to arrange to cost in to cease the shooter, including a father who discovered his daughter was murdered while he argued with the cops. We aren't free when politicians resolve that the lobbyist and gun industries are more necessary than our kids's freedom to go to highschool without having bulletproof backpacks and energetic shooter drills," Kapler wrote.

Later, Kapler wrote about his disillusionment with what he known as "the dearth of delivery of the promise of what our national anthem represents."

"I'm not okay with the state of this nation. I want I hadn't let my discomfort compromise my integrity. I wish that I could have demonstrated what I learned from my dad, that if you're dissatisfied with your nation, you let it be recognized through protest. The home of the courageous should encourage this."

Kerr refused to discuss basketball forward of Sport 4 of the Warriors' collection in opposition to the Dallas Mavericks, as a substitute elevating his voice as he railed against gun violence in the wake of Tuesday's taking pictures.

"In the final 10 days, we've had aged Black people killed in a supermarket in Buffalo, we have had Asian churchgoers killed in Southern California, now we've got children murdered in school," Kerr instructed reporters at the start of the press convention.

"When are we going to do one thing? I am drained. I'm so bored with getting up right here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there ... I am uninterested in the moments of silence. Enough."
