James Woods Tells Colin Kaepernick: Keep Your ‘Worthless Ass in the Mud
Actor and rare Hollywood conservative James Woods has a message for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick — the American flag doesn’t need you to stand up for it.
“Don’t tarnish our flag by standing,” the outspoken 69-year-old Once Upon a Time in America star challenged Kaepernick on Twitter. “Just stay where you choose to be, with your worthless ass in the mud.”
Kaepernick created a firestorm Friday night when he refused to stand up for the National Anthem ahead of a pre-season game.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color,” the quarterback later explained. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
Kaepernick later said he would continue to sit through the National Anthem at games until he feels that there is “significant change” and that the American flag “represents what it’s supposed to represent.”
The quarterback’s move elicited strong reaction from fans, who began filming themselves burning his jerseys, and from high up places like the White House and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Some, like Woods, have called for a boycott of the quarterback.
