LeBron supports Kapernick but will stand during anthem

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James says he plans to stand during the national anthem, but he supports San Francisco quarterback Colin Kapernick’s decision to kneel in protest. James has always been outspoken on social issues. He said Monday he intends to stand while “The Star-Spangled Banner’’ is played before games because “that’s who I am, that’s what I believe.’’ The NBA superstar, however, admires Kapernick’s “peaceful’’ handling of the situation.
