Meridian Councilman backing Kaepernick, kneeling for National Anthem in NFL

Young Meridian Councilman Weston Lindemann is backing Colin Kaepernick and those kneeling for the National Anthem in the NFL.

On September 24, he wrote on his Facebook page: “If you think respect for a flag should take priority over opposing the systemic oppression of African-Americans, you’re part of the problem. Glad to see so many supporting Colin Kaepernick and everything he represents today.”

Lindemann changed his profile picture to show him sporting a Kaepernick shirt this week.
