Dallas FC defender Reggie Cannon was upset that fans booed as players knelt during the national anthem on Wednesday. But it’s Cannon, not the fans, who is in the wrong.

“We had someone chanting ‘U-S-A,’ but they don’t understand what kneeling means. They don’t understand why we’re kneeling,” Cannon said. “They can’t see the reason. They think we’re the ignorant ones. It’s incredibly frustrating. I’m sorry to have this tone, but you have to call it for what it is.”
