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."

He’s about to be traded to the Dallas Cowboys. He’s really nothing than a backup anyway.

I guess he can sit on the beach the entire time. Hes not going to play anyway.

Someone should set up a kicking machine like this one, right behind his seat, which will continuously kick his treasonous butt out of his seat, and they should turn it on when it's time for our National Anthem.

That’s right - because Kelly won’t play him. Buh-bye Krapernick.

He does have that beard going on. In one image I saw of him he looks just like the other muslim killers but with better cars and clothes.

GREAT post. That is one of the best posts I’ve seen on FR in many years. Bravo!

[marygam]

Just another useful idiot who makes millions.

He has a “Muslim activist” girlfriend. You know how this goes. He goes full retard spouting off, loses his job and his endorsements because of his “brave stance,” and then she’s out the door and takes a big chunk of what’s left of his cash with her.

When I was a kid, back in the 80s, I was walking down my street and two black teens passed me. I was around 12 and they were probably 16 or 17. After the walked past, one turned and ran back at me and punched me in the back of the head. I dropped but wasn't knocked out. He and his buddy walked off laughing. There was no reason for this other than plain meanness.

I don't think the knockout game was a thing back then, or at least nobody talked about it. But I guess I was a victim of a proto-version of it.

Frankly, I took down my flag a while ago.

I still stand for the anthem and remove my cap.

"Hope he finds another career soon."

I don't. I hope he gets canned, gets taken to the cleaners by some gold digger, and ends up with a gig on celebrity rehab for the rest of his miserable life.

He is converting to Islam, do some research.......

He's toxic to any NFL team now. Nothing but a locker room distraction. He's done. No other job skills. A mountain of money but a mountain of debt too. Typical moronic football player buying clothes and cars and jewelry. He'll be broke in 3 years - watch.

He had one good year- fooled everyone - but a quarterback in the Tom Brady or John Elway mold?

Not a freaking chance

[atc23]

NR - he’ll be a UPS driver as his next career - maybe a suicide is in his future

Let the man sit down.

A group of Americans can stand in front of the sitter, giving him an eyeful of behinds. Some outgassing is in order.

He is what is wrong in this country. He does not recognize that Obama is the problem in this country.

The flag is representative of this country. Obama is not!

[rxtn41]

Yep that’s it!

"...he’s just a misguided fool."

It kinda reminds me of the lyric from a Broadway play tune... "You can bet he's doin it for some dame." In this case it's his Black Lies Matter girl friend!!!
