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.

When I saw the beard I wondered if he had converted.

How stupid can he - and others who “convert” to Mohammedanism. It is a cult of hate started by a camel humping pedophile. He stole whole peaces of Judaism and Christianity, twisted them and proceeded to plunge the world in a non-ending war.

If this dummy would have spent five seconds studying history, instead of diddling Rosy Rottencrotch, he would know that Mohammedans are responsible for black slavery. They created the slave trade and kept the supply lines filled.

Should be put on TSA’s no fly list as potential Islamic terrorist.

So concerned about poor oppressed blacks is the $109,000,000 plus player of children’s games that he converts to the “religion” which sold them into slavery 309 years ago — and which continues effective slavery in Arabia and which murders or oppresses blacks, women, Christians, and Jews today He’s a lot better playing with his little balls than he is thinking

This has nothing to do with "leftism" at all.

Sports like NASCAR and the NFL are becoming politically correct because they no longer cater to football fans. They are selling themselves to each and every American consumer, so by definition they have to become as bland, brand-less and pointless as anything else that's supposed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Once a sport (or any other mass-marketed product or service) reaches this point, its top priorities are to: (1) adopt any stupid political/cultural cause that has captured the imagination of the American public, and (2) avoid offending people if they are "mainstream" or "protected" classes.

Would be wise to put his behind on the terrorist watch list. Just the kind of moron that ISIS targets.

I guarantee you that he and others will use this episode to explain why no one wants him on their team.

“Poor Kap. Stood up (sat down) against oppression and now is being run out of the NFL for speaking truth to power.”

Thanks for the definition of Neo-Marxist Liberalism and its evil spawn of Crony Capitalism and the Uni-Party.

This is simple. He has a right. And we have the right to boycott the games and all things 49’ers. Exercise of rights comes with responsibilities and public figures who want to demonstrate unpatriotic beliefs run the risk of losing popularity and income. So let’s show him how the capitalistic system works. We don’t like you any more. Go away and dry up.

When Solo insulted Brazil and showed up in the net in Rio, they booed every time she touched the ball. So don’t go to the game and don’t watch or if you do go, boo every time his name is mentioned and every time he touches the ball. The hers are on the down hill slide anyway and can always use a new QB. Call the front office and bitch and remind them how your dad died in VietNam so this idiot can insult his memory.

We know the drill. Let’s get busy. My son is a 49er fan and yesterday, he both a Ram hat instead. That’s start an tell the store owner and the league and the 9ers why you did it.

Football is a business. They need to cut him immediately to save their bottom line.

At least the NBA knows their audience and their basketball shoe/hoodie needs. (/sarc)

He is a weak-minded idiot. His girlfriend in a BLM activist, which makes it clear he allowed her to change him into a BLM idiot.
