As one African American in red, white, and gold sits during the song another, Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Powell, in dress whites sings it. A color guard representing the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines and 240 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines holding a massive “super flag” on the field aid the visual aspect of the performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” at Quaalcom Stadium in San Diego. So-called super flags generally take up the entirety of a football field. Their 300-feet-by-150-feet dimensions almost perfectly correspond to the size and shape of the gridiron. They weigh more than a half ton and cost north of $50,000


Final preseason game for both teams, meaning 2nd stringer Kaepernick will be playing a ton

Quite the coincidence for this being the 28th Annual event, serves him right

Whelp.....I can only hope that he refuses to stand afterwards because both of his shins were broken in half.

A $50,000 flag is so dumb...

This is becoming less about Kap and more about people boosting themselves up by the day

I don't understand, did Kaepernick say anything disrespectful to The Troops?

He's actually going to be starting and should get a lot of action because Gabbert (100% the starter) will be sitting as he's gotten enough reps.

They may be cutting him soon for performance and attitude reasons extraneous to his petulance. He did not put in the locker room work coming back from injury and did not put in the film work (his biggest deficiency) in the offseason. It has proven super easy to get in this guy's head, 10 booing Charger fans may be enough to ensure he has a shitty game and gets the axe.

Honestly, who takes a stab on this guy if he's cut this weekend? Forget 2012 Kaepernick, he isn't even 2015 Kaepernick right now, he's paper thin and a distraction that 31 other teams may not care to have to start their year. He may not be on a regular season roster until 2017.

Kinda disrespectful to the troops to hold the salute to them at the worst game on the schedule.

What does his protest have to do with the military?

Everyone involved should be comforted by the fact that Kap might be unemployed by the start of the season.

While it's a pretty good troll. I'm ready for this story to die. People get entirely too up in arms over whether or not everyone has the same exact feelings over a flag or not.

Kap should stand and say he supports the flag and all of that and then next week sit and be against the flag and keep switching all season
