Kaepernick sat for national anthem

[HammerDown]

Who cares what the backup quarterback for the 49ers does?

...protesting racial inequality when he's a white millionaire with a gonzo beak and nappy head.

49ers QB Colin Kaepernick sits down during National Anthem

We are also talking about it in the Politics Thread

All I can say about him is

 

[fordman84]

I don't have a problem with a player exercising his first-amendment rights, but Kaepernick needs to realize he is pretty much on the bubble already and this kind of thing doesn't win him any more fans.

Me either. What I DO have a problem with are the full of shit people like Kap. I'm sure he means how oppressed his fellow minorities are, but he's not doing a god damn thing to help them.

If you are so passionate about something do something, don't just literally sit on your ass and be a drama queen!

 

[jeffro151]

Just looked at his twitter, he's full blown anti white and anti cop.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

The dude is a multi-millionaire based on his ability to play a game poorly. The dude should not only stand for the anthem, he should weep openly while it plays.

Maybe he's not happy with what he's seeing around him in the USA... Yeah he's rich and living nice, but that's not happening for millions around him... I would say stand just out of respect for people who have fought and died in the past, because it's not there fault of the current political climate... But I"m sure he has a reason..

He grew up in one of the most affluent cities in California and he's not even black.

How dumb does he think we are?

Turlock is affluent?

 

[NinerSickness]

What a horrible country to black people where they're paid millions of dollars and / or given free rides in college for their rare athletic abilities, given preferential treatment to get into colleges and supported with welfare at rates higher than any other race. Oppression.



...Oh, and shot by police in confrontations with police at lower percentages than non-blacks (which is too much math for him to understand). That's his dumbass, non-beef with America.

I'm so sick of being right all the time. 1/19/2014:

Trade Colin Kaepernick to the Texans

Turlock ? Has the UC made it a little slice of heaven ?
Proof per se ?

Something making news today.

Kaepernick sits anthem over racial oppression

What an asshole. I'm as liberal as they come, but this is nuts. Yes, racism exists in this country and we need to continually face it and fix it when it rears it's ugly head. But to make a statement like that against a country as diverse as ours, and that also does the best job of attempting to integrate everyone, he can go fuck himself.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Remember when Kaepernick was going to be the greatest QB of all time? Lol

How 'bout them Seahawks?


Good times, good times.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

He's perfectly well within his rights to sit down just like we're all well within our rights to think he's a gigantic douchebag.

 

[williewilliejuan]

I saw an article comparing him to Ali for this act.



Just no.

 

[Old Lion]

Kap needed to practice, sitting his ass on the the bench

Damn it Groo! You beat me to it.

I'm a Niner fan. I'm closer.

His mother and adopted father are white. His uncle is a white cop. I met him in his last year of college and he was very soft spoken and polite and met his family at a local diner. I don't think this was his smartest move on his part but I get what he was attempting to convey.

 

[RobBase]

This is just another act by Kaep to appear "more black" than his white ass is. His insecurities stem back to his "rough childhood" being adopted by happily married, well off white people and given a life of luxury. His full body gangster tats and jumbo ball caps weren't doing the job, so he had to take his act to the next level.

Remember, this is the same guy who was punished for calling other guys n*ggers on the field not long ago.

Bears DE confirms Kaepernick used N-word

Kaepernick is a poser.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

I saw an article comparing him to Ali for this act.



Just no.

Jemele Hill seems to be leading that train of thought, but she's an idiot.

 

[Dolemite censored]

Kaep has his right to free speech and so do those people who criticize him for it.

I predict the predictable outraged response by the right wing whackos on here.

 

[bksballer89]

I read that he did the same thing in the first 2 preseason games. Nobody cared since he wasn't in uniform
