Wells appeared last month on the Outkick show "Don't @ Me" with Dan Dakich to share his feelings on Kaepernick taking that knee. The former MLB pitcher called himself a "patriot" and didn't like his actions:
"That's why when [Colin] Kaepernick took the knee, it's a little disrespect to me because I'm a patriot. I support our military. I come from a military town in San Diego. You can't do things like that. Your beliefs are your beliefs. I don't have any problem with that. But don't go out on national TV and take a knee for what that is."
"That doesn't prove anything in my mind," Wells said. "It proves that you're an idiot and that you're standing up for a cause. When the anthem's there, you're in America, you do the anthem, you do the Pledge of Allegiance. That's what you do. That's what we were taught in elementary school. Put your hand over your heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance."
