Colin Kaepernick: The Flag Is Just A Piece Of Cloth
Daily Caller ^ | October 13, 2016 | David Hookstead

Posted on 10/14/2016 6:55:43 AM PDT by Zakeet

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick believes that the flag of the United States is nothing more than simply a piece of cloth.

"At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth and I am not going to value a piece of cloth over people's lives. That's just not something I can do, it's not something I feel morally right doing and my character won't allow me to do that," Kaepernick told reporters.

Kapernick needs to put on a US Marines uniform and go to Afghanistan. But, he’s too much of a pansy to do that.

Why give this piece of s##t the time of day? Ignore the fool, and let’s hope the Buffalo bills do the right thing on Sunday, if you get my meaning.

We need to stop giving him a platform to spew his anti-American; anti-Christian nonsense.

Although I’ve quit watching sports because of this, am aware the moron is going to start for the 49ers on Sunday. My wish is for some defensive lineman or linebacker to knock his block off.

Men fought and died under that flag so that he and his girlfriend would not be slaves today.

Spot on! As our illustrious first lady says, “All this for avdamn flag”? So if one flag has no meaning, neither should another.

The NFL is a Socialist League so every player will take a pay cut next year because of the loss of TV revenues because of him

>>Well, ask him if the Rebel/Confederate Flag is only “a piece of cloth” and why folks are so eager to have it removed anyplace it flies?

See how they do it? A segment of the Progressives will claim that a flag is a symbol, so you can’t fly the Confederate flag. A different segment of the Progressives will claim that a flag is not a symbol, so they can show disrespect to the US flag.

In the Progressive ideology, both can co-exist because they both “train our minds” to understand that nations (whether it is the CSA or the USA) are the problem and we need a borderless world without flags. Just big red banners proclaiming communism as our god.

You dishonor the people’s lives that died for that flag! You have alienated millions of people against your own cause because of your ignorance. The education system has failed our youngsters and filled their heads with things of little consequence. They can not read nor write anymore. They think what ever they are told and have no skills to seek the truth.

Hey, MORON!

No one is asking you--or anyone--to do that!

It's not an either/or choice.

All people should at least show some respect to their country. Why do you think doing so will kill people?

It's amazing how simple it is to turn it off and not miss it. It needs to continue because this is an expression of the silent majority. The league and the sports media don't want to acknowledge that people are turned off by these protests. They point to any other reason.

“Technically,” he is correct. Technically, Kaepernick is just a chunk of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, carbon being deigned a pollutant. KAEPERNICK IS A POLLUTANT!

So the boy is throwing a temper tantrum over a “piece of cloth”? Way to pick your battles, meathead.

I know everybody has been outraged as this guy for weeks, and the other young people for copycatting him.

You have to understand that the Left has dominated the entire education system for decades.

American history is not only not taught, but young people now are "educated" that America is the nexus of racism, slavery, and evil in the universe.

This stuff is pounded into their heads all through their youth and formative years.

This is why elections are so close now, in addition to immigration.

The Left manufactures voters through the school system.

By turning the NFL off you also hurt the networks. 2 for 1.
