Forget the details. A “Man of Color” complaining about unfair treatment is headlines, news worthy and valid...just because.

“The 49ers and the NFL have issued the lamest of responses, the team saying it “recognizes the right of an individual to choose to participate, or not, in the celebration of our national anthem,” the league saying it “encourages but does not require players to stand during the playing of the national anthem.””

Eddie DeBartolo and Carmine Policy would not have stood for this $hit! The 49er’s current owners are crapweasels!

He can say what he wants, but by joining the death cult, and by supporting BLM, he has demonstrated that he rejects American values and is not worthy to be an American citizen.

...and contain actual Bible verses

I wonder if those will easily come off without taking off the arm ? I just read somewhere he turned to Islam and is now dating a BLM agitator.

Kaepernick converted to Islam. That is the reason for his disrespecting and hating America.

His girlfriend is part of Black Lives Matter.

Oh sure it is a free speech issue, and so is all the talk-back and push-back that he is going to get.

Free speech is the freedom to be a fool or a Solomon in plain sight without government restraint.

This treasonous loser has a legal and constitutional right to display his ignorance without adverse government consequences. We the spectators have a legal and constitutional right to boycott attendance and viewing of games that include open displays of Obama-level contempt for our flag, our anthem, and our country. The team has a legal and constitutional right to react to his stupidity in a manner that limits the damage to their bottom line. It’s all freedom. I hope other athletes will choose wisely.

Kapernick has always looked more mideastern to me than African-American. Put one of those long chin-only beards on him, and he’d fit in with all the other jihadists.

I’ve seen numerous idiots—to include veterans—talk about this as a 1st Amendment issue. It’s a crime how little Americans know about their own Constitution or are unable to apply their own basic life experiences to others’ actions.

Islam is about a permanent chip on the shoulder, so this could fit. It’s not like we have myriads of sports figures doing this.

But of course, chip on the shoulder is an irresponsible thing to have.

Poor judgement issue

No gratitude issue

Misinformed volition issue

Poor taste issue

Manufactured by a bias media issue

Not merely a “person of color”, but a convert to Islam as well. There is not, and never shall be, any change in the circumstances surrounding that concept once known as “the United States of America”, that will make it acceptable to Colin Kaepernick to stand at attention for the national anthem or flag, that also represents the American Republic.

He does not love or respect this country. Fair enough, the concept of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness are not necessarily the central part of everybody’s philosophy. But how did he ever become a football player in the first place, working around all these infidels?
