Friday night, the announcer at a high school football game in Alabama suggested the most extreme response possible to Americans who follow Colin Kaepernick’s lead by not standing for the national anthem.

Shoot them.

"If you don't want to stand for the national anthem, you can line up over there by the fence and let our military personnel take a few shots at you since they're taking shots for you," said Pastor Allen Joyner, who announces games at McKenzie High School in Butler County.

A Facebook user named Denise Crowley-Whitfield, whose account has since been deactivated, posted about the incident and wrote the crowd went "crazy cheering" ( via al.com ).

The post was shared more than 4,700 times, and according to al.com’s Erin Edgemon, the 50-plus comments were “overwhelming positive."

Among the responses were those from Joyner's daughter and daughter-in-law. His daughter wrote, "That's my daddy! I'm so proud of the man he is and that he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in."

Standing up for what you believe in is one thing, but whether or not you’re on board with Kaepernick’s protest, shooting someone for taking the stance is a bit un-American, no?
