Colin Kaepernick: 'I'll continue to sit'
ESPN ^ | August 28, 2016 | Nick Wagoner

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."

In the Old Days, that was called being "benched."

“that nugget “

Most sources list his $61 million as guaranteed.

Guaranteed if he gets hurt!

If he doesn’t perform (Superbowl or All-pro) his salary is adjusted downward by $2 million each year.

If they release him he gets nothing.

“Well San Fran or is as commie left as you can get for cities so he fits right in.”

Unfortunately, although they didn’t change their name, they are 50 miles south of SF now.

When there's significant change

Significant like not paying some ass millions of dollars to underperform?

I’d accept a 15 yd penalty...even a multi-game suspension...to get his mind (and the 49er’s brass’) right.

In SEP 2015, during a game, he yelled “fucking ni**er” at another player, on the field, and it was so disruptive, that the ref called an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and the NFL font office fined him $11,500... that was 11 months ago... that Colin Kaepernick was oppressing black people... angrily enough, that he had to be punished... twice...

I'm all for people gettin' ahead, but the amounts of money involved in pro, hell even most college sports nowdays, dials my interest level down to about 0.

My sports highlight of the year just finished a couple hours ago with Endwell NY winning the 2016 Little League World Series Championship !

"I'll continue to sit..."

"I'm going to continue to stand..."

Guess he can't make up his mind. Sounds wishy washy -- probably from too many concussions.

White family adopts and raises him. Yet he identifies with his real race, not them. Never cuck. #Kaepernick

I would bring in Tebow for a tryout. See how quick he starts to stand and get his hand over his heart.

Don’t hold your breath. The NFL is on its way to being the NBA. Rich white people watching large Negroes exert themselves.
