Mike Ditka appeared on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas today and issued a strong stance on the whole National Anthem protest that will likely be ongoing throughout the NFL season. In particular, Coach Ditka addressed Colin Kaepernick, saying he has no respect for him. 

Ditka also noted that Kaepernick probably doesn't respect him either, which is fine by him, and he also added, “Anybody who disrespects this country and the flag, if they don’t like the country, they don’t like our flag, get the hell out."

Furthermore, Ditka said he doesn't see the atrocities going on in this country that people say are going on. YIKES.

The former Bears coach is no longer apart of the ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown crew, as per an agreement that was announced in March, but he still contributes to SportsCenter on occasion.
