The San Francisco Giants manager and several coaches and team members took a knee during the national anthem before their first exhibition game in the Bay Area on Monday night.
He said the decision was the result of weeks of conversations with community organizations and also with the team.
Asked if he and other Giants would continue kneeling, Kapler said,"We're going to have 60 chances during the regular season to make the same decision that we made today, to either stand or kneel or do something different."
