There are corrections, clarifications, and then there is this. As you have probably read, it turns out the original report on a CBS reporter’s conversation with Colin Kaepernick was erroneous. It originally stated that he would stand for the anthem if given another opportunity to play. Now, it has been changed to reflect that they didn’t even discuss the issue.
NEW YORK (AP) – CORRECTION: CBS reporter clarifies on saying Kaepernick would stand for anthem, says they didn't discuss issue.

Many are left wondering how he even says something that far off in the first place.

How do you report that he would stand for the anthem if you didn't discuss the issue with him? https://t.co/lqCisSC0mi

“Oops, I told you he said he’d stand for the anthem? I meant we didn’t discuss the anthem at all.” https://t.co/bCziRbTDrg

"Clarifies" is an interesting term for "made up thing that didn't happen" apparently. https://t.co/crWR4h5Qe3
