Randy Orton Responds to National Anthem Controversy

Randy Orton took to social media last night to comment on the recent controversies surrounding mainstream sports stars kneeling or raising their fists during the National Anthem as a way to protest social injustice:

If you’re sneering that it doesn’t take courage to raise your fist during the anthem, then you’re one of the reasons why it takes courage.

Sneering? More like shaking my head. Courage? Lol riiiight. Courage. Thats what it takes to stand up and fight, not raise a fist. https://t.co/DqQt11cNmS
