Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kerpernick was very upset that he wasn’t invited to the NFL’s “weekly social activism” meeting, but it didn’t take long for a true American hero to put Kaepernick in his place.

The NFL’s meeting was centered on speaking with players about social issues they are passionate about and what the league can do to coddle players ever more than they already have.

As pointed out by the Independent Journal Review, Kaepernick was upset that he wasn’t invited to the meeting to offer his expertise on kneeling during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Kaepernick has been unemployed since the end of last season because none of the 32 NFL teams want him to play for their organization.

Kaepernick’s legal team released a statement, which was posted to Twitter by Adam Schefter, a reporter for ESPN’s “NFL Insiders.”

Benghazi hero Kris “Tanto” Paronto saw Kaepernick complaining about not being invited to the meeting and decided to send him a reminder about what real heroes look like.

Paronto uploaded a photo of U.S. soldiers taking a knee, which looks like they are saying a prayer together as a unit.

The caption on the photo read: “Real Men Taking a Knee,” and included several hashtags reminding people that freedom isn’t free.

Paronto perfectly encapsulated how an overwhelming majority of Americans feel about NFL players disrespecting the national anthem and the American flag.

Heroes like Paronto understand what true sacrifice is and what it means to have your friends killed in combat while defending this great nation.

They fought and bled for this country — giving entitled athletes the opportunity to lead extravagant lives with millions of dollars.

People like Kaepernick have no clue what hard work and sacrifice actually look like. The American people will stand with Paronto long before they ever kneel with Kaepernick.
