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."

The question to me is, why is the media giving this racist asshole any coverage at all? Don’t they realize that they are being played by every tinhorn “activist” that comes down the pike?
He looks like a Mohammadan thug.
I hope he meets up with a nice, little 350lb nose tackle ....
and
Another half-white loser who hates America but loves the millions he earns off our backs.
Pant load, I would love to meet this turd face to face. Well San Fran or is as commie left as you can get for cities so he fits right in.
they just deleted a thread i started primarily because people like Rush Limbaugh read this stuff and run with it...
KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT GOES DOWN WITH KAEPERNICK’S AGENT...
one of his two agents is known as a generally low key, good guy who’s never had any issues...he represented kaepernick since his senior season ended at Nevada, fought hard for him and helped negotiate the $126 million contract....he’s been very clean in a business full of dirtbags..
oh yeh- he’s also Jewish...
I thing it’s time that EVERYONE stops talking about this.
Being ignored is not what he wants-—it makes his gesture irrelevant.
.
I hope he never stands. If he stands, it’ll mean the USA has become a 3rd World hellhole.
Poor Colin...he started believing his own hype...
Every time the national anthem is played anywhere in the world, the ghosts of millions who served, many who died in battle, stand and salute.
They see you sitting there cashing in on their sacrifice, making your millions for nothing more than playing a children’s game with a little leather ball while enjoying the rights THEY won for you, and they’ll have a few choice words for you when your turn comes to travel on to the Next World.
I predict an airborne ranger of a delta will eat him for breakfast. I understand they have very unique ways.
Its not a moral stand unless you take it.
Of course, you have to consider that there is a posisibility that your morals suck.
In his case that taxpayer is all the residents of Santa Clara County who didn't vote themselves into servitude to build this a$$hole a new stadium, but are forced to pay for it thanks to the idiot sports fanatics who got the bond issue passed. Candlestick Park was never good enough for the 49er’s. I just wonder how long it will take for them to start pi$$ing and moaning about their new taxpayer-provided bull ring in Santa Clara. And BTW, to “make way” for this colossus, they had to raze the Aviation Department of San Jose State, which was a one-of-a-kind place for students to learn about aircraft maintenance.
off with his had....... he should be shouted from the field
+1
Amen!
This Ahole who claims USA is oppressing him has a $$$$$ 100,000,000.00-plus contract to play a children’s’ game. (And if he gave a damn about anyone else, he has plenty of income to help them ). He’s a hypocrit like Hilliary Obama and several super- highly paid Hollywood actors - who shoot their mouths off about “poor oppressed” others while taking in more and more dough for themselves
He may not be able to stand as his rear may be stuck to the bench.
