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

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.

Notice: The following comment is sincerely offered and patently unhristian.

It is my sincere wish that Kap gets his ass pounded into the turf during the next game. Bonus points if he gets injured.

I am sick of his POS ass.

Take up our quarrel with the foe.

This has lived longer and will live longer than "football" ever will.

Colin Kaepernick: The Flag Is Just A Piece Of Cloth

And that is a legitimate opinion, but not one I feel like paying to watch.

“Colin Kaepernick believes that the flag of the United States is nothing more than simply a piece of cloth.”

Makes sense coming from a self centered millionaire who never served in the military.

Methinks Colon will go jihadi one day.

I guess the Lombardi Trophy is “just a piece of metal” and your salary is “just a piece of paper.” In fact, the commilibs already tell us that babies are “just a piece of flesh”. And black lives are just aged pieces of flesh. How much further do you want to pursue this type of rationale?

Sounds exactly like what an idiot professor told us back in 1971.

And Colin Kaepernick is just a football player, and NFL football is just a game, and I’ve found it is a game I can easily live without.

Very good points. Also, throw a BLM flag down in front of him and stamp all over it, or a Muslim flag and see if he says they are only pieces of cloth.

And an Obama mask is just a piece of plastic. And a racist Tweet is just a formation of pixels. And hate speech is just sound waves. And a human body is just a collection of chemicals. Anybody can play this moronic game of reductionism.

“my character won’t allow me to do that,”

This is the real picture of his character:

He has over 500 pair of shoes at an average of over $200 per pair, some as high as $700. That’s over $100,000 worth of shoes!

Hang this sign over a few lockers in the Bills locker room:

“This flag is just a piece of cloth”
