A restaurant owner in South Carolina has pledged to not show NFL games as long as players continue to kneel during the national anthem.
David McCraw, owner of Palmetto Restaurant and Ale House in Greenville, made the announcement Sunday evening in a Facebook post.
In an interview with Fox Carolina, McCraw explained his decision.
“I want people to realize one thing,” he said. “I believe in what the players are saying; we do have a race issue in the United States. And our community leaders and our national leaders need to get together, along with the people who are protesting, to bring ideas to solve issues. It's easy to...identify problems and issues; the hardest part is bring solutions.”
