How are Stephen Hawking and Kaepernick so much alike? They both don’t stand for the national anthem.

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is based on the fact that Stephen Hawking was physically unable to stand, and Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem as a form of protest. Get it? It's funny because one couldn't stand, and the other wouldn't. And you, my friend, can't seem to stand up for yourself either, always nodding along like a bobblehead.
