Just an example of the PC MSM falling all over themselves praising Kaepernick for his vacuous virtue signalling.

The problem is the one-way street. Conservatives are fired all the time for speaking their mind OUTSIDE of their job.
Here we have a football player INSIDE his job, behaving like a douche.
BUT if he got fired, he would be THE martyr, and the new spokesman for BLM.

Here’s the dealio......Mr. Multimillionmaire is wrong on his FACTS. Policemen require 60 college credits (an AA degree) to even be considered for the academy.

Moreover his sympathy for BLM shows stupidity. More whites are shot than blacks. The police shoot people who are noncompliant, have a gun, are beating on the police officer, are a danger to the public......Mr. I Can’t Throw A Pass NEVER addresses gangs, single parent homes, absent fathers, lack of education, drug addiction, criminal life style. His own black father deserted his mother. Fortunately for him he was adopted out to an intact family.

This is the crap getting cops shot in places like Dallas and Baton Rouge. I am not going to stand by and talk about bravery for lies like this. Dude has no idea what oppression is.

Criticizing this guy is ALSO an exercise of free speech.

Refusing to watch his games is ALSO an exercise of free speech.

Refusing to buy things he endorses is ALSO an exercise of free speech.

Dear Dominique Foxworth at ESPN,

Your exclamation of ‘bloodline’, ends with the mohammedan slavers on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Your usage of the term ‘American’, for some overpaid ignorant fool who craps on all his and your ‘bruthas’ who have died for that flag, really defines YOU as a ‘grabastic piece of lizardspit’.

Yes, [Kaepernick] speaks for you, too, white folks. Whether he intends to or not. Yes, he speaks for soldiers who have died in defense of this country and veterans of war who suffer back at home without the support they have more than earned.--Dominique Foxworth

Hey, Foxworth!

Here's someone who stands and speaks with a voice like thunder vs. Kappy's chipmunk squeak.

Agreed, as far as the excerpt went. The ungrateful traitor is entitled as an American to express his stupidity as he did. We are entitled to express our outrage as we are. The loser’s team is entitled to decide whether to get rid of a player who wasn’t worth much anyways or accept the loss of substantial revenue from viewers and fans. This is all American, including the natural consequences of expressing disloyalty to the greatest country in the history of the world.

...

I agree, but our disgust at his behavior and poor reasoning is more American.

I'm still waiting for this genius to explain who exactly are being oppressed and by whom. Yes, I know he's vaguely referring to his race and possibly other so-called minorities like LGBTQxyz types. Does he not see how this country is bending over backwards to accomodate their wishes?

The only oppression I see being committed is by their inner-city liberal/socialist/racist leaders. Yes, some very few LEO's over-react and in many cases lose their jobs and/or are prosecuted and even jailed - good if warranted.

If he's buying into the BLM whining about Martin in Florida, Brown in Fergueson, and Gray in Baltimore, he's either ill-informed or refuses to look at the facts. They were all highly scrutinized by a black Attorney General and found NOTHING to hang them so as to satisfy the blood lust of BLM and A-Holes like him.

Zimmerman was self-defense; the cop with so-called gentle giant Brown was self-defense; 4 of the 5 cops in Baltimore have been acquitted regarding Gray's death. Expect the final cop to also be acquitted. I have not seen race relations this bad since Rodney King in 1991?

Where was the one that the cops took down some un-cooperative street vendor and everyone screamed "choke hold"? I watched that video numerous times and saw NO choke hold, as I was trained with it while Shore Patrol in the Navy. As they took him down, one cop just happened to have part of his arm around the back of the neck. Hardly a choke hold. The fat dipshit died from a heart attack.

Where was this author when the NFL wouldn’t let the Cowboys put stickers on their helmets honoring the police?

my bloodline in this nation can be traced back to before America was even a country —

also...

so what does that have to do with anything...

My ancestors arrived in this country as early as 1623 and I am a veteran and an immigrant...

but I honor the flag of my country and I would not be disrespectful to the National Anthem or the flag...

So is mine. And I disagree. The player was on a game field, which society has recognized is a non-political arena. If the player wanted to make a statement, he could have held a press conference, he could have pulled a Kayne West and taken over the MTV (what a joke nowadays) awards with a rant, he could have got his sentiment across in many other ways. Politicizing sports is not the way to make a point.

Kaepernick is supposed to be playing professional football, he’s not supposed to be playing politics.

No. No its not American in any way. He was at work being paid by his empoyer. He partiipates like everyone else or his ass should really sit for the season. He can protest all he wants on his own time but not on others!
