Colin Kaepernick: 'I'll continue to sit'
ESPN ^ | August 28, 2016 | Nick Wagoner

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat during the national anthem in each of the team's three preseason games and plans to continue to do so until he sees real change when it comes to racial oppression in the United States.

"Yes, I'll continue to sit," Kaepernick said. "I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me this is something that has to change. When there's significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it's supposed to, I'll stand."

Sounds like a guy who pretty much knows his NFL career is over, and is now going “Scorched Earth.”

Like he really gives a damn. Another junior Obama.

Hope he finds another career soon.

He thinks he’s a hero...he’s just a misguided fool.

I’m afraid they won’t get that chance, he’s played his last down.

His salary is reduced by $2 million a year for each year he sits.

He gets nothing if they release him.

They couldn’t release him this year as it would have kicked in a injury clause and that was more than his salary.

Regardless, if he wants to protest in this way, that's his right.

And if we want to start boycotting any team he plays for and his products, that's our right.

“I’d cheerfully take the spearing fine & 3 game suspension to put that bastard in the hospital and out of football for good.”

That would cost the 49’s about $50 million.

“I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed.”

CK means the poor oppressed tax payer, whose income is partially confiscated against his/her will and given to a Federal Government than pisses the monies away. /s

That might be true if the Niners organization had any balls.

But according to the uber lame statement I saw earlier today, they've already put their dhimmi hats on.

Yeah, if one of his Muslim buddies caused him “discomfort,” , it wouldn’t bother me.
