- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.
[snip] "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

The punk has far more money than most working white people in this country, and he’s bitching. Hey, why don’t you go to Africa? I hear Zimbabwe is nice this time of year.
No explanation necessary Colin. The action speaks for itself.
Is he African or American? He can’t be both.
My take:
He will receive NO punishment for this.
But let him utter so much as a word about fags and he’ll be banned for life.
This is not your father’s NFL.
He needs a little loving attention by the opposing line, maybe a failure by his own defenders at a key moment, too.
Then go play football in Zimbabwe.
I’ll bet they pay a lot.
Yeah, dude with multimillion dollar contract is soooo oppressed.
Shaddup already.
This stuff is just getting tiresome.
He should be immediately SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY. But what would you expect being from San Francisco, the Morally Bankrupt capital of the Most Morally Bankrupt State.
SF plays SD next week and open on a Monday night nationally telecast game against LA. Hope fans boo the piss out of him whenever he steps on the field. Leave your politics off the field ! POS
So when does Roger Goodell suspend this moron for disrespecting the nation?
Oh, wait, he is too busy bad mouthing Rush Limbaugh, praising Michael Sam and worrying about Tom Brady’s balls to do anything about this anti-American washed up punk.
Like the old saying goes...if you’re competing against Blaine Gabbert for a job, and somehow you find yourself in the process of losing to him, you must really suck.
In an effort to save his job, he does something stupid. The end result is that when he get cut, he can now cry racism.
His penalty should be to play football without a helmet....!
Reward the 40-whiners with empty seats.
And I'm not going to pay one red cent of my money to some ungrateful, spoiled, crusading attention whore who makes millions of dollars for playing a stupid game and expects me to believe he knows anything about being "oppressed."
I agree 100%......he should leave the usa.....Chicken Shit anyway......never liked the Tat man...maybe man????
Money talks when whites walk.
Screw black-inundated sports.
Screw black-ass-kissing schools.
Screw black-ruined cities.
Screw welfare for black baby factories.
They wanna see what real oppression is like?
Let’s start with simply turning our backs on them.
Tag line!
Because he’s a dick
