On a serious note, I think Kaep actually may be crazy as a fox. I think he is trying to force the Niners to cut him.
Strawman alert. I'd like to see the Skins' name changed, and tbh, I wouldn't be shocked if the Chiefs' name eventually (probably inevitable even) is changed based on the grounds of cultural appropriation even if in truth it's named after a politcal boss. Guess it wouldn't be sexy to name the team the Pendergasts. At least, that's if my memory is good this morning.His pig socks are the second most offensive socks in the NFL!
No, but what IS funny is NOT BEING A COMMIE would be if they got power.
Lets switch this up.
A White Nazi protests America Civil Rights by sitting during the National Anthem.
Somehow Your positions changes huh?

I have no problem with peaceful protests, I just don't like dumbass, incoherent protests. And sitting for the national anthem has to be the least effective form of "protest" of all time.Yep silent protest is an issue now. First there was an issue with violent protest. Now there is an issue with silent/peaceful protest. This is hilarious

Actually, now that I think about it, wearing pig cop socks is definitely worse.
Ah, mixed that up. Was Mayor Bartle's schtick more than anything.Strawman alert.

I suggest you read this. It talks about the demographic breakdown of those killed by police from May 2013 to April 2015.
Now go look up the crime rates for white, black, and Hispanics.Deaths at the hands of the police (per the article)
49% White
30% Black
19% Hispanic
US population (general)
63.7% White
12.2% Black
12.5% Hispanic
Much higher per population percentage for people of color. They do go on to note that when adjusted for homicide rates, whites are 1.3% more likely to be killed by police. But again, this includes justified kills, which isn't part of this discussion really. That skews these stats.

By the way, the article talked about how it's tough to separate the justified kills from those that were not when looking at the stats. That's part of the reason that the whole "cops are killing black people" narrative doesn't really fly.
Nice that a Power Elite ($11.9 Million a year to ride the pine) would condescend so effortlessly, isn't it?
What he makes has no impact on the topic. He is trying to use his fame to bring more attention to an issue, a voice for the voiceless.
He has announced that he will contribute his first $1M made this year to charities dealing with this issue.
A few videos doesn't make a trend, though. That's the problem. It's difficult to unpack, and it's further complicated when groups like Black Lives Matters jump on cases like Michael Brown and push a narrative that's later proven to be a lie.The stats don't really have a lot of specific value in this discussion because of that "justified" aspect.
I disagree overall though; that narrative DOES fly because there is visual evidence. Where are the videos of unarmed white suspects being shot and killed? Where is the video of a policeman not even bothering to get out of a car to shoot dead a small child playing with a toy gun? Where is the video of a white man, prone on the ground with his limbs outstretched as the policeman instructed, still getting shot by that policeman? Etc etc.
OK, but what are the percentage of crimes per race and percentage of police shootings when this is considered?Deaths at the hands of the police (per the article)
49% White

19% Hispanic

The 49ers look just fine now. This isn't a 49ers issue. They've done nothing wrong as an organization when it comes to this and public opinion on them is the same as it was before.
