and the "national anthem." there were protests from london to los angeles. it was in response to the president saying players should be fired for kneeling during the anthem. the demonstrates started last year in protest over police brutality and racism. >> many teams locked arms in a show of unity. more than 200 players knelt or sat during the anthem. only six sat the week before the president's comments. tom brady was one of those locking arms and spoke about the president's comments in a radio interview. >> i certainly disagreed with what he said and thought it was just divisive and, you know, like i said, i just want to support my teammates. >> cbs news special correspondent james brown is host on nfl o

james, good morning. >> goo good morning to you, charlie, norah, and gayle. >> what did you see? >> what i saw was togetherness. i saw owners, the commissioner, nflpa, directors and players all in unison, not necessarily agreed with the method that the players are tay seaying but hearing what they're saying and it is not anti-flag but more pro the issues that have been longstanding and trying to find a solution together. >> i think that's what's concerning to people is they're missing the message about how this started. it didn't start against the country or patriotism. >> gayle, not at all. we talked about the kind of issues that are systemic and lonld standing and weekend documented in terms of community and color and racial inequal tell and these players aren't just making a statement. most of these players have been ti

8:06 am
and completely understand how many people only see the flag and what it stands for and think that it is an affront to those in law enforcement and military. it's not anti- any of those things. it's more pro what the issues are. i think to the degree, the old expression, can we reason together, sit down and hear one another. that's what we're seeing when we see arthur blank, ownership like arthur blank and pete of the seattle seahawks. they're at least engaged in dialogue. they're hearing the players. you can agree to disagree without being disagreeable is the manner in which they're going about it, norah. >> where's colin kaepernick a year later? >> a year later? still from a visible standpoint unemployed as far as the nfl is concerned, and that's another whole issue. one thing i have to give him credit for, although i might have

year. there's five of us. you can kind of malk what we have to go to to survive. >> reporter: what you see in the segregated schools is they tend to get far less resources and more importantly less experienced teachers. >> everyone knows teachers are most influential in a child's development. why do you think this country isn't doing more to promote good teachers, to promote and give them better raises? >> if we were really serious about social progress in this country, teachers would be paid like lawyers and doctors and we wouldn't be just peaing lip service to teachers. what we're seeing is a widespread disinfranchisement. >> you see kids who say, i just have a quarter, is that enough to buy a book at the buyer fare and i want to cry. you dig in your pocketbook a
8:36 am
them to have a book. >> is it racial inequality or -- >> i think they go hand in hand. class in this country has been conflated with race, you know, with brown versus the board of education, race is protected. it's a loop hole. race is protected. the class was never protected. you know black people and brown people are poor in this country. you say race doesn't happen. you know they tear poor and you don't have to serve that part of it. you think it's a given kids should go to school and get an education wherever they live. >> it's not an environment a kid should be raised in. it's not a pretty good safe environmental. >> what is the solution? that the idea, again, that we were -- you know, a lot of people said, oh, we're not racist. now we're at a point where you can't say, i'm not racist. you have to say i'm anti-racist. for me it's going to

8:44 am
show sheldon before? why did you think you were on to something? >> the first thing we were trying to think of, me and my production company, anything we could take a show about. we were going with my nephew who was 10. he's 11 now in texas. he's very smart. i thought, this is describing a young sheldon. i checked in with chuck first of all. >> chuck lorre. >> i thought if he has any interest, i should talk to him about it. i thought, they would have thought of it before. they've been building it for a decade, anecdote after anecdote. but they jumped at it. and what they even done with it is really miraculous in my opinion. it's its own show, its own memory play, origin show. what were you going to say? >> i love how you don't refer to yourself as old
8:45 am
>> big sheldon. >> big sheldon. >> it would make sense -- >> that's the nicest thing i'll say about myself, just big, not old. >> also thought of the fourth one. i think, monkey, think. >> iain, what did you -- you started "big little lies" a lot of people know of you, but what did you think when you got this character? >> oh, my goodness. i was so happy and excited that it was like i was just -- it came sort of as a total shock because i thought, oh, yay, i get to do another audition. i was at my grandma's over christmas, i had just barely mem orrized it, and i was just like -- my mom filming it was probably the best thing about it. like -- and then i got a call back, so i was like, oh, that's pretty good. so i went in, i did
8:46 am
-- i met mr. jim. >> who's responsible for you being an actor? you or your mom? >> well, you see, it doesn't exactly run in the family because my mom's not an actress, but my dad is an actor. >> you just saw him this weekend. >> yes, i didn't i saw him in "hamilton." the only difference is he's a theater actor and i act in tv shows. i did actually do a thing, it was called "millions." i'm blanking. a workshop. >> this is the thing that's so cool about this role, jim. for iain's character, you're not putting sheldon's words in his mouth. >> no. it really is its own character in the same way that -- what you're seeing is sheldon how he became what we see in the adult show, and so this is kind of its
8:47 am
portraying here, and there are overlaps, but there are also -- we watch him discover things like comic books and his clothes are going to change style as he goes through this. i don't know. it's like all the things that you associate with sheldon now, you see how they got there through him. >> yeah. >> and what's it like, jim? because we're used to seeing you in front of the camera to now have this additional role as a producer? >> i'm very mediocre at it. i'm very mediocre. >> that's what they say about you, jim. >> not true. >> that's not true, is it? >> not true. >> it's very strange and it's taken a lot to get used to even talking to another actor, in this case, iain. >> giving direction? >> sort of. i'm not comfortable in giving another direction. i don't want to break it or him. but he's --
8:48 am
>> i'm not that fragile. i'm fragile but not that fragile. >> flexible and resilient. >> pliable. >> goodian. but iain's so easy to talk to. >> this takes place in 1989. and you were not alive in 1989. >> i was not alive. >> we were all alive. what were some of the funny things you learned from the '80s about doing the show? >> first of all, the clothing sort of took me by surprise because you have a lot of things that would be considered totally outdated and really weird today, and stuff like that -- that no cell phones. >> yeah. no cell phones. there are these huge thing, whatever they are. >> and "big bang's" coming backham you ended up proposing. >> that's right. >> did she say yes? >> you'll find out tonight. >> you got married. >> i
8:49 am
>> what did it take for you to become honest people or honest men, you and ted? it took a long time? >> i thought when we first got together we knew it was a real thing it was long lasting and marriage wasn't a possibility. we went on for so long we thought, we're happy. then we said, what the hell, let's have a party. >> congratulations sth thank you very much. >> have a great show. >> jim parsons and iain armitage. you can see this. children pick up everybody, jim. at 8:00. >> i know. >> and young sheldon. right here on -- >> -- cbs. >> hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcasts on itunes. fe
