NFL players blast Kaepernick's decision to sit during national anthem

Former teammate Alex Boone isn't taking any more hits for embattled San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

The offensive guard suited up for five seasons alongside Kaepernick, blocking as defenders tried to get Kaepernick off his feet. Now, Kaepernick is voluntarily taking a seat, choosing to sit during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner to protest perceived racial injustice. It may be a good thing that Boone, now with the Minnesota Vikings, is no longer wearing the same jersey as Kaepernick.

I have said many times that the reason Kaepernick has struggled as an NFL quarterback is that he isn’t intelligent enough to play the position. I think he just proved my point.

Legalize competition.

Enable 5 different football organizations. The NFL & AFL should never have merged. That is the losing globalist, union, authoritarian model.

Where is the NFL, AFL, UFG, FFF, FUG, etc.

One way to make a point is that whenever he is playing, all the fans stop buying food, drink, souvenirs, and all future open tickets. Hit them in the pocketbook and see if there isn’t a re-evaluation of how this is being handled. And when he is replaced on the field and benched again, sales as usual. Simple. Behavioral re-enforcement.

Heads up, Philly. From the article:

Philadelphia Eagles rookie linebacker Myke Tavarres told ESPN on Monday he would join Kaepernick in protesting by sitting down during the anthem.

Talk about the mother of all bad decisions. Colin Kaepernick could of been a Dallas Cowboy before the end of this week and positioned himself as their starting QB. He will be cut and nobody will pick up his contract. After he clears waivers, a desperate team may sign him - at minimum veteran salary, along with stipulations on his on/off field behaviors.

I remember reading that in school. Sad. But a really great template for how the US could/should treat the America haters.

And since Barbara Streisand (deliberate) has made noises about moving to Canada or Australia if...

I hope it's not "men only."

How exciting!!! When living in Luxembourg, I had the opportunity to be an extra in the filming of Danielle Steele’s “Jewels”. My husband claimed that I deserved an Oscar for the best supporting extra in a foreign film. I also told everyone that Robert Wagner was in my movie. :)

the way the NFL has fallen over itself to defend this anti-American bawl gut Colon has made it much easier for me NOT to watch the NFL this season.

I have truly given up watching most sports, but especially the NFL since Roger Goodell decided to not allow Rush Limbaugh to have an interest in the Rams—but allowed some girl named Fergie who wets herself on stage to be a “minority owner” of the Dolphins. The hypocrisy made me want to vomit.

Occasionally, however, I would feign interest in the league or glance at a playoff or Super Bowl to be sociable.

Goodell, however, has decided that the Dallas Cowboys cannot honor slain cops—but a crybaby millionaire convert to Islam can bad mouth this nation and not pay respect by standing during the National Anthem. So, I boycott even stronger the NFL.

If someone can tell me “official” sponsors: drinks, hotels, foods, etc. of the NFL, let me know. I will do my darndest to not purchase them, too.

I’ll go full “Target Bathrooms” on ‘em.

Apparently, this undrafted rookie LB has quickly changed his mind and has stated that he WILL stand for the National Anthem.

I wonder what got him to change his mind so quickly?!? I mean, I truly WONDER! LOL!

Clinton News Network still reporting the LB will sit. He better get s press release out pronto. PracticeSquadMatters

None of it makes any sense. Why would ANYONE - FOR ANY REASON - want to join a group of savages who get their kicks chopping off people’s heads, enslaving young women and girls for sex and indulging in various other evil acts. In short, those who find their pleasures in MAYHEM AND KILLING!!! Wouldn’t we all, if in the company of such people avoid them as much as possible? Cast them out in other words? Aren’t his fellow ballplayers castigating him or are they NON JUDGMENTAL? How PC of them, if true!
