Blacks are 13% of the US population but I swear I see a much higher percentage as actors, sports figures, sportscasters, newscasters, politicians, progressives, and and rabble rousers.

Kaepernick needs to be sent packing.

He refuses to acknowledge all of the undeserved benefits he has received solely due to his race, including his adoption by a well to do white family.

Time to cut him loose.

Hope Kap paid cash for his great big SF mansion. His paychecks may be quite a bit smaller if he bought it on a 30 year mortgage like the rest of us......He might not be able to keep up the payments-—AND the Calif taxes—1.25% +++ of the purchase price, with 2% increases every year.

**** “That was the first VCR tape I ever bought..the story always stayed with me as well as Woods and Belushi’s acting...” ****

Just watched the pre-views... Never, I could not finish the pre-views...
It is the period, not the acting.

yup, it’s a free country, for him and for all of us (we hope it still is!)

I know it’s too much to hope for, but it would be great if tv viewership and stadium attendance would plummet for any games this anti-patriotic a-hole is involved with. He may not be starting more games anyway, his career has been in the toilet for a while.

Canada won’t take him. As a support for the NFL, the CFL won’t hire any player from the NFL that exhibits any behavior inconsistent with the NFL ideals. So, he has no where to go, literally.

"Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the national anthem is entirely wrong," King, a Republican Representative from the second district, said in an email statement. "It is also an indicator of how low our cultural standards have been degraded that anyone is actually supporting this behavior.
". . . Having an NFL quarterback insult our flag by refusing to stand during the playing of the 'Star Spangled Banner,' adds neither honesty nor intelligence to that debate."

This issue puzzled me for a couple of reasons.
The first is that Colin does not look obviously Black.
The second is that what would drive him to this weird behavior? If he were white, is it white guilt?
If he sees himself as Black, what's his beef?

So I dug deeper.
The facts make him a male Michelle Obama, "for the first time, proud of his country...
The rest of the story makes him a world class ingrate and an insult to his White adoptive family.

Nothing else needs be said.
Judge for yourself :

"Kaepernick was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Heidi Russo, a 19-year-old woman who was single and destitute at the time. His birth father, an African American, was out of the picture before he was born.[1][2][3] Russo placed her son for adoption with Rick and Teresa Kaepernick, a white couple who had two children...

Can anyone explain to me the meaning of the gesture those admirable red-blooded patriotic Americans are doing?

I must lead a really sheltered life.

How long will white Americans put up with outlandish lie and defamation?

Just as Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, "No one can make you feel guilty without your consent," which I had intuitively lived before learning the words, this loser ingrate has zero effect on me. Doesn't even generate pity.

Thugball is soooooo last century!

That this clown, making himself rich playing a game, impresses me not one whit.
