Mike Ditka made headlines today with his comments to NBC's Jim Gray about black players kneeling for the national anthem. Ditka said the following:

There has been no oppression in the last 100 years that I know of...Now maybe I'm not watching it as carefully as other people. I think the opportunity is there for everybody -- race, religion, creed, color, nationality. If you want to work, if you want to try, if you want to put effort in, you can accomplish anything.

Ditka also said that players who kneel for the anthem should get out of the country.
