He has been vocal in denouncing the violent protests and riots that have broken out in recent weeks following the death of George Floyd in police custody on Memorial Day. Owens has also made noted comments denouncing the NFL and its acceptance of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s activism with the Black Lives Matter movement.
“We have too many Americans now accepting the notion that the flag should be a place where people should be ashamed of or take a knee, that’s what it comes down to,” Owens said earlier this month.
"We’re willing to have the distraction of a Marxist, a Castro, brother-loving Marxist to come back and play that many Americans don’t want to see him play,” he said of Kaepernick.
In a video interview with the Washington Examiner earlier this year, Owens said he stands for the national anthem because it stands for him.
"My message to Colin Kaepernick is learn your history," he said. "Karl Marx says something very simply back in the 1800s, and that's showing itself true today, and that's the first battleground is the rewriting of history. [The flag] represents everything that we as Americans want to have."

As someone in his district, this is very good news.
Ben McAdams is a feckless technocrat, like Romney but with an honest D next to his name.
Burgess Owens has been outspoken in his support for our country and culture.
