That's fine but I think he threw it away by using his place of business as a means to show disrespect. There was no reason for that. The national anthem in the US has morphed into a huge symbol of respect for those who made the greatest sacrifice of all to protect flag and country. Those people are the ones who's contributions and sacrifices allowed guys like Kaepernick to live in millionaire comfort and snub their nose at the system. I'm sorry but while I wholeheartedly believe in freedom of speech, let him do it at the local little league game. The whole country shouldn't have to see what a dipshit he is.
Saying this is breaking a fundamental rule.. Never forget History. Historically athletes have used the stages provided to them to push their agenda. Historically athletes have been able to increase awareness to various social issues, shedding light on the problems and then inspiring change.

Who the fuck are you to tell him when and where is allowed to exercise his 1st amendment rights. Stop framing your anger and hatred for bullshit reasons and come out and say it. You clearly are too ignorant to understand the power of free speech and protest.

Then you sir, are part of the problem.


That is assuming you see a problem. I see it as people who refuse to take personal responsibility, that refuse to work within the community to clean up their own messy creation in the neighborhood, and have decided it's easier to sit and pout, hoping others will fix their problems for them

That is assuming you have the ability to see things with or without an open mind. Yes extremely strong individuals can rise out of the hood against all odds and make something of themselves but that is the exception to the rule. You have to have an extremely closed mind to sit there and just say the majority should be able to just pull themselves up from their bootstraps. That goes for all races but more so for black people because of the systemic and systematic oppression they have faced.

You clearly are too ignorant to understand the power of free speech and protest.

And it would seem that you are clearly refuse to accept, that power was paid for by the sacrifice of men and women in the service of this country for that free speech.
In Places like:
Bull Run
Shiloh and Antietam.
Gettysburg
Pearl Harbor
Omaha Beach
Iwa Jima

and lately Dallas


And hundreds of others. Sure Kaepernick has the right to snub his nose at the flag in protest of what he thinks is an injustice but he also needs to be reminded that the power of his free speech was paid for in blood to give him the right to do so!

Fighting an Injustice you believe in does not mean you have to disrespect the ones that gave everything to allow you that right
Nor does it mean you must remain silent.
But being offensive to further a cause by disrespecting the flag of the country that gives you that freedom
hurts the very cause you are trying to champion by being divisive at its core

Dude you just cried about PC police and now all of the sudden you are the PC police!

You can't defend free speech selectively and expect to have your opinion taken seriously. It proves you're just a hypocritical jackass. So why act all offended by the exercise of free speech and tell us how you really feel.

And no silly, our armed forces did not fight for athletes to rise for the flag at sporting events. Standing for the flag is historically a marketing scheme.

I still believe that if you are paid to do a job, say quarterback for a NFL team, then that's what you do.\
If I am the Yorks, I am not paying him to spout his political agenda while on my time clock.
Go out and march down the fucking street on your own time.
There's a time and a place for everything, and he's got them both wrong...

I still think he's a moron for decrying discrimination while wearing a Fidel Castro shirt, or saying he's not against cops while wearing pig cop socks.

As far as being a hypocritical Jackass I give you the 1 finger salute

Like I said your opinion is no better or worse than mine is I reserve the right to disagree just as you do

PC Police Please I in no way said anything like that I said he has the right and gave a reason for how it is divisive
no more no less

A marketing scheme ? well your partly correct from the late 1800's maybe and things have vastly evolved since then.

As far as how I really feel Kap is wrong plain and simple in how he has chosen to "protest"

Enjoy your Sunday CowboyB im going to enjoy mine kick off is here



Good Day

I did come out and say it quite plainly but you may be too ignorant to understand. If you or I used our places of business as a means to further our personal political interests, we'd be fired. If you don't believe me, go ahead and try it tomorrow and let me know how it goes. If Kaepernick is trying to inspire change then let him take out a television ad, pay for it, and make a speech. He could also run for political office. ATM he just looks like a rich asshole.

Kaepernick is within his rights to hate cops, hate the flag, hate you, hate me, I really couldn't give a shit. It's one thing to hate something but quite another to show your disrespect for people you've never met before on national television.

I'm not an American but when I'm in the US on business and I see your nations military being applauded in an airport, I stand up and applaud along with them. I also applaud police everywhere knowing perfectly well that some are racist assholes but the majority are just trying to make a difference and usually get shot at for their troubles.

One of my favourite comedians is Chris Rock. You guys have probably seen this bit before but whenever I see it I still laugh. That dude is funny!

Clearly you're not smart enough to be an NFL owner because his boss responded by donating 1 million dollars to help inner city children.


Dumbass.

You're nothing but a hypocrite with an agenda. Your opinion and words are reduced to your ability to remain consistent with your agenda. Clearly you have no ability to do that which reduces your opinion to nothing.

You're just a typical racist mad e a black guy has a voice.

Gee, makes you wonder how they survived at all, seeing how they still cannot accept any personal responsibility for their actions.
