Deviance can be something small like dressing like a hippy or in gothic clothing, or something big like robbing a bank. Each society has laws and rules to keep one from committing deviant acts. Colin Kaepernick is going against NFL policies, going against his duty as an American citizen, and finally, he is disrespecting the men and women who fought and died for this country.

Those who commit acts of primary deviance often do not know that they are going against the norm or it is out of their usual character to act in a deviant manner.
