Controversy Erupts After NFL Quarterback Converts To Islam and Refuses To Stand for National Anthem
The conservative treehouse ^ | August 27, 2016 | Sundance

A controversy has erupted today because San Francisco 49er’s Quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand up during the playing of the national anthem.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." ~ Colin Kaepernick

So what exactly is going on. Well, there's a little more to the story than most are willing to accept. The media and the NFL will avoid these discussions like the plague, but what the heck - the Truth Has No Agenda.

During the off-season Colin Kaepernick converted to Islam. Colin Kaepernick is also engaged to Black Lives Matter activist and hip-hop radio personality DJ Nessa Diab. Black Lives Matter as an activist group is synonymous with promotion of authentic Islam.

Thats what happens when you let the muslim population expand past a certain percentage point, its like black mold in a flooded house.

All you can do is rip it all out.

Yeah, he’s real oppressed isn’t he? Colin Kaepernick signed a 6 year, $114,000,000 contract with the San Francisco 49ers, including a $12,328,766 signing bonus, $61,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $19,000,000. In 2016, Kaepernick will earn a base salary of $11,900,000, a roster bonus of $2,000,000 and a workout bonus of $400,000. Kaepernick has a cap hit of $15,890,753 while his dead money value is $19,697,260.
According to CNN.money, the average person in the US makes $53,657 a year. For 6 years, that’s $321,942. He’s just another gullible problem child spoiled to the gills. I hope some 350 pound lineman ends his career. Clean, but final.

I am 61 years old and keep thinking back to what I consider the Golden and Glory days of watching NFL and AFL football.

What great stars and athletes we had and the games were just as exciting. In addition you had a corps of announcers that were without peers, Curt Gowdy, Pat Summerall, Dick Enberg, Al DeRogatis, Tom Brookshier. and so many others.

If they had a cable channel that re-ran old games from the 1960’s and 1970’s I would probably watch it.

Today I just don’t get the same vibe and enjoyment of pro football anymore. It has become too PC, Liberal, and frankly just not as much fun to watch. I can take it or leave it. More leave it at this point.

I’d like to see him go in on a passing play and have the offensive line lay down for the defense to pass through.

Does that mean the NFL has to stop the game five times so he can pray towards Mecca?

i look at it as a NON-EVENT.
I mean the guy is so INSIGNIFICANT and just another anti American non-entity in my book...
look at the mainstream pravda media.... there’s a bunch of like-thinking negative unappreciative scumbags....

The most racist “folks” seem to be the ones crying racism... being funded by a nazi supporting jewboy georgi schwartz aka SOROS who is so anti American he should be tried for treason... for supporting revolt and breaking laws and funding BLM... to riot and commit acts of violence...

these scumbags never did anything for america AND now want to tear it down.... it aint happening ... so riot, commit violent crimes all you wish... it leads nowhere...
AND SO THIS INSIGNIFICANT NOTHING GARNERS NEWS BECAUSE THE MEDIA IS HARPING ON THIS FABRICATED NON-ISSUE... BLM.....RIOTS FUNDED BY soros

It’s no secret he is not smart enough learn the ins-and-outs of an NFL offense.

The NFL has seem lots of running quarterbacks that run because they don't know the offense.

Smart NFL teams are paying more attention to the Wonderlic test results. It is counterproductive to have a QB that only knows 25% of the offense.

This is also why wide receivers like Cordarrelle Patterson struggle. They don't know the patterns.

The Left’s jihad to destroy America includes sports. Even NASCAR has become politically correct. America is in a spiral death-dive that is tightening with every passing moment.

Trump halts the dive in November or America becomes a smoking hole in the ground.

Cam Newton -LOL - he can’t be very smart. He’s the guy who won’t even show up for the team ‘meet the players’ events.

I have found my interest in Pro football dwindle down from watching every game I could in my teens and 20’s to an occasional game perhaps 2-3 times a season usually a playoff game now. I really have no interest in overpaid, overdeveloped and for the most part under educated self absorbed nitwits waste my valuable time that I could spend reading and learning or spending time with family and friends, you know the more important things in life.

By converting and joining BLM he has declared he is not worthy to be an American.

If his clothing is extra bulky when he comes into the locker room or if his jersey is inordinately lumpy when he trots out onto the field there may then be some headlines about workplace violence.
