A Simple Solution

Regarding "UT chancellor: Sitting during anthem disrespectful" (Friday Page A2), University of Texas chancellor William McRaven is umpteenth opinion maker to offer an opinion on whether the actions of San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick are appropriate, but also the umpteenth who fails to offer a solution.

Protesters such as Kaepernick ought to be given the option of leaving the field one minute before the national anthem, and then returning when it is done.  This would be respectful of the overwhelming majority of fans, yet consistent with his conscience.

Granted, Kaepernick would be deprived of his endless Selfie Moment, but that wasn't really the point, was it?
