“I understand Kaepernick’s intention, however I disagree with his means. His NBA counterparts protested the same ideas in a way that neither hurt the country, nor ignored the ideals that people of color have fought and died which; ideals represented by the symbolism of the American Flag and words of the National Anthem.
As a member of a national organization, reaping the benefits of a country that apparently oppresses people who look like him, his argument is thin on a personal level.
Doing what Dwayne Wade and company did at a game opener to support BLM, or making a public verbal statement as Carmelo Anthony did, or even a written statement as Michael Jordan did are all more appropriate acts of protest.
He could write his congressman, he could petition, he could picket, he could join the service and actually fight for the rights he seems to think are not offered to him; his sitting through the National Anthem was a lazy lack of will and brain power.”

He started this when he was sitting on the bench. Leave him there for the whole season.
What will the NFL do with this incident, THAT is the question. A lot of viewers want to know.
Doesn’t Kaepernick have a contract that GUARANTEES somewhere around $65 Million? How do I get that kind of oppression?
NFL’s Kaepernick says he’s standing up for the oppressed by sitting during anthem

He’s only guaranteed any more money this year. The 60 figure only applies in case of injury-shortened career.
NOTHING
Sent #### you messages to him on facebook and twitter.
He was also sticking up for BLM, which I responded to by calling it a terror organization.
You should have seen the replies!!! Gonna have to bolt the door tonight :)
Also, slammed NFL, San Francisco and the Team Union on their respective websites.
They probably wont give a ####, but look what a small movement turned into against Target
I LOVE FOOTBALL. I love my country more.
That being said, I still love the sport, though some on here cant understand why and denigrate that fact.
I dont understand the point of their responses. I’m sure they watch and do some things that I would think were pretty hysterical too
Boom!!!
I agree! Let him ride the pine like all the other back benchers. Time on the dead pecker bench will give him time to think.
Probably give him an award. Sports is another organization that has been taken over by the left.
I stopped watching it. Except for some rare moments, it’s mainly a PC cesspool.
Maybe he has deflated balls, like Brady?
Fine him.
Thank you for going on facebook or twitter and calling out BLM as a Terrorist Organization. Of course that’s what it is.
But the vicious, ignorant response you described is one of the main reasons I don’t post anything on either of those sites. Nowadays there is a whole generation of people who don’t think they should have to tolerate other points of view.
This sort of lowlife is capable of trolling you, or trying to find out where you are and in which city so they can pay you a visit. Twitter allows this negative, menacing behavior for certain approved groups. Many Amercians are becoming so much like the early Communists were, or the Taliban is today, that it’s not even funny.
The Ranger is being way too nice.
Blacks are currently having their asses kissed constantly by the media, the courts, and academia. They demand more and more to the point that it is currently ridiculous.
He could aslo get off his ass, kneel down before God, and give thanks for being able to live and do what he does in the greatest country on earth.
But he won’t. Piss on him.
Kap is a spoiled brat. He hasn’t lived up to potential and now wants to blame every body else.
Frankly I hope he is cut and no one picks him up. Then he can go his social activism while kissing his scripture tattoos.
The good thing is I dont have kids so I dont give a ####.
Always been a little loose in the head anyway.
They could put my name and address on the ####ing front page of the news for all I give a ####.
And I WILL Take some of them with me if they tried to take me out.
I’m 48, but a banged up 48. My nephews and nieces dont deserve a ######y country and my birth certificate didn’t say “no expiration” anyway.
#### them and their Whole ####ing crowd.
See, we WOPs are too stupid to give a #####. And my neighborhood wouldn’t cower.
*** “Piss on him” ***
I might, after the flames have fully consumed him
Amen to that.
