Amid loud chants of ''USA! USA! USA!,'' San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt for the national anthem Sunday in his continuing protest against racial oppression and police brutality.
Outside the stadium, vendors sold shirts with Kaepernick's image in the sites of a rifle scope, and fans tackled a dummy dressed up like the quarterback . Nearby, other fans protested in support of the movement .

Back in the day when Mark Gastineau of the New York Jets was one of the most self-hyped stars of the NFL, the guy had a glossy photo of Gastineau's face mounted inside each urinal in the men's bathroom.
LMAO.
Maybe they can make Kaepernick urinal cakes ala Jane Fonda?
Not only that, he's allowing me to reclaim about five hours every Sunday so I can do yard work and fix up the house. Thanks, Kap!
I am Pats fan. But for this I say, “Go Bills!
It’s nice that Kaeprenick lost, but honestly, if we’re going to boycott the NFL, we really shouldn’t give a damn who won, or who’s playing next week or the week after that.
Let the NFL’s ratings crash and burn this season. Let them get the message, and we’ll see about next year
STOP. WATCHING. YOUR. TEAM.
Your team should be as dead to you as every other team.
So long as they buy tickets to the game it doesn’t matter how loud and demonstrative are K’s protesters. Reduction in the gate and in the TV ratings is the only effective demonstration.
You are correct.
He is just one of a number of ignorant idiots. It’s the NFL and ESPN that have my contempt.
Kaepernick is a second rate quarterback with no idea how to do his job. His job is to figure out ways to score and to win. He threw for under 200 yards, missed 6 ends zone targets by missing the receiver or throwing into coverage. He was his teams leading runner with 66 yards. So he’s not reading the defense and utilizing his running backs. But the fact that he makes $19M a year to do this type of work should not only be embarrassing to him, but also the people that pay him and play him. They should post a public apology to their fans and put him back on the bench.
If you’re going to get beat with him because he is substandard, then take a chance without him and cut him next year when they can. Better to work on the future and give a new young player a chance to learn than write off the season using a substandard player.
Note: Colin is using his name to protest the treatment of African/Americans in the US by disrespecting the flag and the people who defended it and gave their all. He could easily get an audience with any politician in the US he wished. But instead he disrespects and uses the loss of millions to prove a point. And today I witnessed the player on his right kneel for the same purpose and cross himself while the anthem was playing. So now you’re disrespecting God for your misplaced protest? I’m sure he’s watching.
Well, Colin, here ya go:

Hope you feel proud. You wouldn’t be able to shinde a real soldier’s boots.

I am a Chiefs fan, but today I was 100% a Bills fan. I am proud of the fans of Buffalo for showing that they are true patriotic Americans.
One suspects that Mister kaepernick has already done many time more than $120MM damage at the NFL.
(I feel sorry for the patriotic players and fans, but not for the spineless, less-than-American squishes who run the NFL)

Would be fun to watch Kaepernick grab his crotch while giving the finger to the hecklers.
Then he’d be REALLY radioactive!
Seahawks fan here, but the 49ers aren’t such a big divisional threat these days and still glad to see them lose. And lose they did today, big time, as did the Eagles, another libtarded team.
Never cared much for that freak, anyways, and his afro looks stupid and affected, just like you’d expect from a SJW wannabe.
Good points. For the record, I don’t watch NFL. Just glad to see this flag hater lose.
Way to go, Buffalo!
The Bills have never lost to the Packers at New Era Stadium (I know the New Era crew and they are awesome) but when Favre was still the Packer QB we went to the game, we were decked out in Packer gear, they razzed us a little but we wound up talking more about the Sabres Hockey team. Was at a conference in Buffalo in June, a torn up old mess. The hotel was nice but what a wasteland. Sad. My Cousin was a head chemist at National Analine in the 50s and 60s, (remember red dye #3? Yep!) and the place was dirty, smelly, and booming. Today it is a huge pothole except for the Darwin Martin House. That was beautiful.
How about a law that says no public money should go to a private company in a form of a subsidy, tax credit, abatement or any of the sort.
"Kaepernick's image in the sites of a rifle scope?"
And what are the locations of the sites where that rifle scope left images of Kaepernick?
Government money should not go to any sports team anyway. Sink or swim on their own.
Geico, too, they have Angry Black Man screaming about lemonade.
Getting sick of the notion that every movie or TV show has the Magic Negro and that 50 percent of heroes must be black or muslim.
Oh, and the kick-ass tough guys in all the movies and TV shows are women now. Give me a break. The woman in the real world is that cop who got her head slammed to the ground in Chicago.
