As the nation remains locked in heated debate over NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest, University of Texas system Chancellor William McRaven has penned a memo to campus leaders reminding them of his preference that coaches and student athletes respect the American flag.
Before becoming chancellor of the UT System in January 2015, McRaven spent 37 years in the U.S. Navy and commanded the team that killed Osama bin Laden.
In January of this year, McRaven penned a memo asking campus coaching staffs to encourage players to stand up straight, face the flag, and place their hand over their heart when the anthem is played.
He reiterated his stance in an Aug. 29 memo to campus presidents and athletic directors of the University of Texas system.
“I spent 37 years defending freedom of speech and freedom of expression,” McRaven wrote. “Nothing is more important to this democracy. Nothing! However, while no one should be compelled to stand, they should recognize that by sitting in protest to the flag they are disrespecting everyone who sacrificed to make this country what it is today — as imperfect as it might be.”
