Boxing hero and Grillmaster General George Foreman is setting himself up as a champion of American patriotism by calling out NFL star wannabe Colin Kaepernick and NBA athlete Kevin Durant over their anti-patriotic attitudes and disrespect for President Donald Trump.

Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, is infamous for his behavior, kneeling during the national anthem and not voting. Durant, the Golden State Warriors basketball star, has said that if the NBA champion Warriors are invited to the White House, he would not go because of his dislike Trump.

“I don’t respect who’s in office right now,” Durant said, according to Fox News.

Foreman has some pretty strong opinions on this country and why Kaepernick and Durant behave the way they do, which he shared on Monday’s podcast of “Offended America.”

“I love the United States,” Foreman said, according to a transcript provided by Fox News. “They (Kevin Durant and Colin Kaepernick) haven’t been brought up with people who were patriotic.”

“A lot of people died so that they can have that privilege,” Foreman said.

What’s perhaps the most frustrating of all of the things that these guys have said and done is the fact that Kaepernick didn’t vote.

Do you know how many people in this country died for freedom in this country? It’s enough that Kaepernick should be ashamed.

Foreman also noted that some of his patriotism came from the time in which he was so active — he went and competed in the Olympics in 1968.

“We came in the era we were patriotic. The greatest day of my life was when I put on the colors, representing the United States,” he said.

Maybe Kaepernick and Durant could learn a thing or two from Foreman. Well, they definitely could. They just won’t.

The left has got it in their heads that patriotism and the anthem are not in vogue, and they couldn’t be more wrong.
