Randy Orton continues to be outspoken on Twitter regarding matters of politics and race. Earlier this week, Orton addressed the recent trend of professional athletes protesting by kneeling during the National Anthem.

If you're sneering that it doesn't take courage to raise your fist during the anthem, then you're one of the reasons why it takes courage.

Sneering? More like shaking my head. Courage? Lol riiiight. Courage. Thats what it takes to stand up and fight, not raise a fist. https://t.co/DqQt11cNmS

A teacher in North Carolina has been suspended after stomping on an American flag while giving a history less. Orton does not approve of the teacher’s act of protest and says he should be fired. Some of Orton’s followers challenged his opinion, but Orton wasn’t backing down.

Suspends? Should fire his ass! https://t.co/dGV0WqSsq2
