#7 Gladys Knight Criticizes Colin Kaepernick Before Her Super Bowl National Anthem Performance,More info:complex
Legendary soul singer Gladys Knight is the latest person to chime in about Colin Kaepernick’s kneel.
Knight is scheduled to sing the anthem at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta next month and had some words about Kaepernick’s ongoing protest. “I have been in the forefront of this battle longer than most of those voicing their opinions to win the right to sing our country’s Anthem on a stage as large as the Super Bowl LIII,” she told TMZ. “It is unfortunate that our National Anthem has been dragged into this debate when the distinctive senses of the National Anthem and fighting for justice should each stand alone.”
Despite not agreeing with how Kaepernick has decided to convey his message to the world, Knight did say that she understands his reasoning. But she’ll still be singing the anthem before this year’s big game.
