The nation's fiscal house is collapsing, but we're talking about this crap
I dont think he deserves the attention that a column about him brings, but Colin Kaepernicks stunt this past weekend of refusing to stand for the national anthem in a preseason game did generate a couple of thoughts I wanted to share. One concerns the increasingly commonplace (and thus, increasingly meaningless) use of gestures like this by athletes to showboat about issues they really dont understand. The other concerns the growing inclination of normal Americans to proceed into histrionics about people not standing, not saluting, not putting their hands on their hearts, whatever.
This is what our county has become under Obama/Hillary.
darn kook! give your 119 million back and move to Zimbabwe!
Oppression of blacks would preclude a black POTUS. Is he saying Obama is fully white?
I wouldn’t stand for a Felon League who paid a bum 126 million.
This guy is a moron who stupidly swallowed some meaningless cliches.
Seems his new-found Muslim faith also has turned him angry, aggrieved and vindictive, which is also to be expected.
“LOOKS AT ME!!! I am so oppressed. I only make 20 million dollars a year.”
He oughta hook up with Huma.
I hear she needs a new beard.
Meanwhile, back in 2014 he was called another black NFL player the n word.
This guy was abandoned by his black father and raised by a white family.
Absolute idiot!
Dude, The POTUS is a “Man of Color.” Just a little late to the party aren’t you?
yet stood around him is mostly blacks who make tens of millions and paid for by mostly whites.
This jerk was raised in a privileged way by white adoptive parents. He’s a self important POS.
I think he will become more radicalized in the future as he gets ignored. Stupid, ungrateful, and angry is no way to go through life.
Please leave my country and don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out you stupid douche.
The 49ers need to cut their losses and cut this flash in a pan from their roster. After this stupid grandstanding, he will be nothing but a negative no matter what role the team might give him from here on. Let him fade into obscurity since I doubt others teams would want him.
“This guy is a moron who stupidly swallowed some meaningless cliches.”
He ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer...in fact, he makes a butter knife look like a Henckels.
Oppresses blacks and Muzzies? Did he miss the election of Barack Hussein al-Obama to the highest office in the land, TWICE? Did he miss the fact that he signed a 6-year, $114 million dollar contract with a $12 mil. signing bonus, for an annual salary of $19 mil.? Did he miss the stats that reveal that police kill more unarmed WHITE people than blacks every single year?
This ASSHAT was ADOPTED by WHITE parents who gave him EVERY opportunity in life, this bastard IS making 19 MILLION a year YET SCREAMING about how our country is SO OPPRESIVE!!!! BASTARD!!!!
I honestly don’t care what he does. I’m not going to watch or listen.
Yet another example of “cognitive dissonance.” I.e., a multi-millionaire black complaining of black oppression.
Kaepernick has the right to do this. But Free Speech rights cuts both ways: we the fans have the right to shun him for doing this. And despite what the 49ers management and coaching staff said publicly, this may be the last straw before “Kaep” is cut from the team when it reaches the 53-man season roster.
