Why do we put up with this crap and allow it to happen?

Blacks have more upward mobility than white people in the U.S., more grants and scholarships, etc. etc.

fuck the n f l.

email sent. His actions are disgusting and should not be tolerated by the NFL.

Screw him and the nfl in general. How stupid can you get. he will be working in a fast food joint before long.

He's set himself up to be a victim.

If he loses his playing position as he doesn't measure up, he can play the race card, claiming its punishment for not standing. Not he's not a good football player

Colin could use another bitch slap from the Arizona Cardinals defense.

I honestly try not to get peeved about people like him but this just boils my blood. Here is a kid, who was not blessed with the most fortunate early life, but used his particular talent to better himself and his family. The American Dream if you will. At the same time he feels this status somehow qualifies him as a spokesman for some supposed miscarrage of justice against a particular class of people, whom by the way he is a prime example of how they can succeed. The fact that he turns his back on the very symbol of opportunity that IS our flag disgusts me. Preach all you want but DON'T preach against the icon that made this country and YOU, what you are. Without that flag and the people behind it his opportunities are ZERO.

I spoke with a friend of mine this morning. He retired after 20 years in the USMC last October. I helped him move to KY last June. His wife found a decent job, he is still looking. He has his retirement (not much) so to make some cash he is hanging tobacco in barns for $10.85 an hour. Sure it bugs his back a little (jumping off tanks for 20 years can beat it up) but he puts food on the table and can keep his daughters (all four) in a good Christian school. He doesen't complain. He presses on.

I am hesitant to wish ill on anyone, but Eff this tool bag.

Asswipe looks like he is already on the road to being radicalized:



Air drop his ass into Syria without a parachute. If some player does a "Joe Theismann" on him, I would contribute to help pay the NFL fine.

Who gives a fuck about this nobody spouting BLM nonsense while getting paid $115 million over 6 years.

What pisses me off is the reaction of his team and the league. Instead of fining him, they express support for his right to be an ass-bag.

Just the same way they supported the right of Dallas Cowboys players to wear a helmet decal supporting law enforcement.

Screw them all. I haven't been to an NFL game or even watched one on TV in years. No reason to break that streak.

I wrote to Commissioner Goodell. Noted to him that if he doesn't deal with this now, it will spread.

It will be an NFL public relations nightmare if this becomes common place and large percentages of entire teams won't stand for the anthem.

The mean side of me says "bring it on".

I have a certain sympathy for Kaepernick. There are a good 5,000 people or more in the stadium, in the bathroom, in the beer line, scratching themselves, ogling the gals two rows away, doing anything but observing the celebration of national anthem, and who can really blame them.

The NFL permits the anthem to be inflicted on the crowd in the most bizarre, undignified and demeaning renditions. It's not one of the main reasons I would no longer attend a game....... the Chargers cured me of season ticket holding ~30 years ago....., but it is the reason I mute the sound at that point in the program if I happen to be watching a game.

He better get his mind off oppression and onto oppressing opposing defenses if he wants to keep getting those enormous checks.

I have no
"sympathy" for the sob at all.

Most of the renditions of the national anthem are very good and moving. Not all, that I will agree. But by far and away the majority are.

As far as the disrespectful. Sure there are some, but a small percentage of the majority still.

An all inclusive, paid vacation to say, Somolia would be a good bet for some reality for his dumb ass.

Once again we have a man of color (he doesn't look 100% African descent) blaming all the troubles of people of color on the white man. A whole list of groups come to mind BLM, NOI, NAACP and on and on. But the fact is they have not taken responsibility for their own actions, how many men, women and children of color have been killed by whites or LEO vs their own kind. Use the FBI numbers and you will find they have a major problem with their own. Wake up it's not the white man, in fact it's the white man in modern times who have helped people of color more then any other race. Play football A$$ H&*^ that's what you are there for not for political statements do that outside on your own time. The NFL should fine him and his team should sit him out a few games. Or may be he should take a trip to Africa and see what real oppression is like again by his "own" kind. Chris

Our flag represents the option or opportunity of standing up and respecting it or not.

He can do what he wants, as you can, and you can, and you can.

Give me freedom of and from.

It does irk me, but I also respect the full breadth of our liberties.
Regardless what is left of them.

If it becomes that widespread an issue, the NFL will probably just stop playing the Anthem.

I have only disgust for this alleged American. I don't use profanity, but if I did, he'd be a big recipient of it.

If a sporting event is on tv I stand. In person I stand. As long as it's a live event. I've taken shit from friends for standing with my hand across my chest at ppv fight, at a bar. Do not give two fucks. There are so many people in the ground, who died for this country. To not honor them by getting off your ass when the national anthem is played is shameful. If you don't like it then quit your overpaid child's game job and leave the country. Standing is the least you can do.

Let him ride a shift with a cop in the hood.

Maybe two.

That's all it will take.

I stand whenever the whole Anthem is played (not when only parts appear in a newscast, for example). Fox News plays the entire National Anthem around 0400 or 0500 on certain days. If I'm awake at the time I stand at attention and salute. (I'm a veteran, and saluting is recognized as appropriate, even when not in uniform.)

Flush Crapernick!!

He sucks as a player anyways.

Colin who?? Another nobody in the grand scheme of things. He's great at kids games but he probably wouldn't have gotten into college if he wasn't playing football.
