He resigned because he supports the protests. Everyone who wants to stand can stand, but to demand everyone do the same thing is pure PC. I stand, but if I see someone sitting, I do not make it my business to correct him/her.

When will they learn? Of course, he deleted the post instead of standing on it and backtracked after his post attracted scrutiny...these cowards always do.

It does seem to be the case that he supports the protest (which, after all, is protesting the multiple instances of unarmed black men being killed by police). I will note that the singer is a black male:

I see you are completely lacking in facts once again:

Cowboys kneel, then stand with locked arms for anthem - CNN

They knelt before the anthem and then ALL stood prior to the anthem starting and through it.
