“I've stood for the national anthem ever since grade school. It's a patriotic thing for me. I understand what Colin Kaepernick and others are doing, but it's not for me.”

Meaning

This reads as a personal statement about consistency, not a rejection of anyone else’s choice. It points to patriotism as something the speaker expresses in a conventional way, while also acknowledging that others may show respect differently. It lands in debates about protest, ceremony, and sports, where the real issue is not only the anthem but the meaning people assign to it.
