Goldberg said, “In a day and age where you have professional athletes not willing to stand and honor that flag, I’m up here to say I’m completely against that. There’s no cause worth fighting for when you step on the people who have tread the ground for you, who have sacrificed lives, who have fought for nothing but that flag.”

The former Universal Champion revealed that he does not like it if someone is disrespecting the American flag. Goldberg thinks this move by the former San Francisco 49er was an indirect disrespect to the American flag and the people who serve the country in various departments of National Defense.
