Back in our cheery, prelapsarian days2016, to be exacta young and photogenic NFL quarterback named Colin Kaepernick chose to express his patriotism by kneeling whenever the National Anthem was played before football games. He kneeled, you see, merely to protest police mistreatment of African Americans. And we knew that Kaepernick actually loved America because he told us so . Im not anti-America, he said. I love America . I think having these conversations helps everybody have a better understanding of where everybody is coming from.
And everyone bought it. Oh, how they loved to love Kaepernicks love. Colin Kaepernick Reminds Us that Dissent Is a Form of Patriotism Too, read the Washington Post headline affixed to Sally Jenkinss column on the matter. Also in the Washington Post, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar weighed in to say that Kaepernick was conducting himself in a highly patriotic manner that should make all Americans proud. At ESPN, Ian OConnors contribution You Can Knock Colin KaepernickDont Call Him Un-American, offered this : They say football builds character. In America, we should celebrate the fact that Colin Kaepernick just revealed his.
If you didnt understand how taking a knee for the National Anthem showed supreme love of country, maybe you needed to acquaint yourself better with the nuances of the truly patriotic mind. So Psychology Today got in on the act. Headline: Colin Kaepernicks Protest is as Patriotic as Apple Pie. Another Psychology Today column, titled Why Colin Kaepernick Is a Patriot, explained that the act of defiance that Kaepernick engaged in actually embodies a specific type of patriotism: that of constructive allegiance to ones nation.

If the communist/Democrat MSM didn't support this racist, anti-American, he would have disappeared after his 15 seconds.
The moron is finished. Time will pass.
Already there are youngsters who say: WHO is Kaepernick?
He'll fade away like last year's Miss America.
“””He must really hate the half of him thats White””””””
Just like hussein obama.
As a Ravens fan I can happily say we denied him his only chance at a Super Bowl championship.
You are 100% correct!
Amazing how much mileage can be had by playing the disaffected negro shtick whilst picking up six figure paychecks and being a complete unpatriotic asshole to boot.
Like Obunghole
"a young and photogenic NFL quarterback named Colin Kaepernick"
What is "photogenic" about this scuzzbag?
IF he came near me I would be worried that some cooties might jump from his hair onto me.
A nice new word, for me!
Prelapsarian, is that the same as In A Gadda Da Vida?
Prelapsarian, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
Prelapsarian, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true...
Sounds the same to me , with or without my hearing aids?
He must really hate the half of him thats White
And the black part hates the USA. What an ungrateful POS
You know, for the population that is over 70, we probably ALL could be remorse about stupid things we believed, and did when we were young. Someday this jerk will realize he was a pawn, in the hands of a group of people who used him. It may take him a while to come to his senses, but he will someday be ashamed of his stance.
He is a failed quarterback. Teams would quickly read his plays before he could get them off. Receivers would have their balls picked off with interceptions. Defensive coaches all around the league would analyze his play techniques and easily come up with the defensive measures to neutralize his plays. In eight starts Kaepernick completed just 59 percent of his passes, averaged only 179 passing yards per game, won only two contests and suffered multiple injuries. He has undergone three surgeries -- to fix a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in November 2015, a torn ligament in his right thumb and a left knee injury in January 2016. Much of his performance has been plagued with poor decision making.
He must really hate the half of him thats WhiteDon't be fooled by any of them. They'd all like to be white. They're just pissed off at, and blame the world that they aren't.
Kaepernick would much rather his black side be white than white side black.

Only if, by we, you mean you are the Las Vegas books, not just a Ravens fan...
Just like this asshole, I doubt that John Bolton feels he has done anything wrong at all.
Although he didn't win, he did make it to the Super Bowl as a starting QB. There aren't many QB's that can say that. It was a close contest with the Ravens winning 34 to 31...
Naughty, naughty.... :-)
What else is new?
I guess he won't be entertaining his grandchildren with stories of his "brilliant" football career.
He was sure that he could get away with it. What kind of person disrespects his country in SUCH a public way?
Arrogance is the first and worst of the seven deadly sins.
.
He was stupid too. No cure for that at all.
