He is not talented enough to be making such a dumb comment.

The irony....

And a black president, attorney general, former secs of state, generals, top paid movie stars, athletes, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc.

One of the most privileged men in the world complaining about something that didn't happened to him to people who didn't do it......kool.

So let's see if I understand this; he's protesting nothing being done about a cause he supports by sitting on his ass and doing nothing.

Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

I'm with the "Fuck the NFL" crowd. It is nothing but a thug culture.

Show of hands, how many of us would still be employed with a felony conviction.

It's not my arguement, but I've heard the arguement on local sports media that the NFL is a form of "slavery".

These guys are placed on a pedestal not only in college, but in high school. Then when they hit the NFL, they think they can, and sometimes do, get away with murder.

You don't like my country. Get the fuck out.

He's a bum. Hopefully he leaves his paycheck on his way out the door.

Fuck Chip Kelly too -

Chip Kelly on Colin Kaepernick: "He did the same thing in the Denver game. We recognize his right to express his feelings."

Chip was an asshole in Philly and although he went to a metro area that has an even higher proportion of such, they'll soon learn he's an even greater Dickhead. SF has a long season ahead and it's my prediction that most, if not every game will look like their last pre-season game against the Packers. Jerry Rice knows a loser when he sees one. F U Dippy and Colin, you're a piece of shit that should get the hell out of this country!

Just for the record, my brother calls him "crapsondick."

Screw Kelly. I hope he fails as a head coach. Again.

Let one NFL player put on a "Make America Great Again" baseball cap on the sideline for 15 seconds and see how many games he gets suspended for.

Excellent idea! I wonder if a player would get heat for wearing one. I'd be willing to buy a player one if he'll promise to wear it.

Why does it have to be my team that gets plagued with Craponstick???

Hey Tom Brady had a Make America Great Again hat in his locker last year

Can't find a video link, but wish the 49er line would do like in the movies and let the whole defensive line sack him with no blocks.

You mean like Plimpton in "Paper Lion?"

Irony drips from a person with his career making a statement like that

Nothing but pure scum.

Throwback To When Colin Kaepernick Was Fined For Using Racial Slurs Towards A Black Player

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sent social media in a firestorm Saturday morning when it became headline news that he refused to stand during the National Anthem prior to the teas preseason game Friday night.

In a statement that followed, Kaepernick explained his actions with, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color, to me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

Kaepernick went from a relatively liked player to arguably the leagues if not sports’ most hated, being shunned by many fans who feel as if he disrespected the country he and they live in.

The QB won’t be fined for his actions, as the NFL noted though it is encouraged, it is not required for a player to stand during the anthem. Kapernick was fined for a previous offensive though, one that some may look as quite hypocritical in light of the comment from Saturday.

After a 28-20 loss against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 14 of 2015, Kapernick was fined $11,00 by the NFL for using a racial slur, “f***ing n***a/er” to be specific.

Kaepernick was flagged on the play for using the language by ref Laird Hayes, knocking the 49ers back 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct.

There had been heavy debate on two issues relating to this situation, whether or not players should be able to be fined for language used on the playing field, and whether the “n word” shouldn’t be used by members of the white community while blacks see a different meaning to the word while using it amongst each other.

Do you think Kapernick is in a position to make the comment he recently made with this being a relevant blemish in is history? Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below with your opinion.

Yep. They protest because of the evils of slavery. But slavery ended well over a hundred years ago. There is now no one living that was a slave, or a slave owner. "But Jim Crow laws" they exclaim! Yeah, those ended a generation ago. There may be a few people around that were responsible for imposing and enforcing those, but they're either dead, in nursing homes, or close to being so at this point. And this nation endured a lot of anguish in order to end those injustices. Many gave their lives to eliminate slavery.

Put it this way. If every white person were as evil as he seems to think they are, there are still enough to have kept slavery alive to this day. Slavery and Jim Crow ended because there were more who wanted to end them than there were who wanted them to continue.

His ass needs to be sitting all season with out pay.

The NFL is VERY particular when it comes to uniforms as exampled by the whole Dallas stick issue.

I don't think it would have anything to do with the hat being a Trump hat, just being and unapproved hat would be punished. Nike pays a lot of money to make sure they only wear Nike stuff.

Remember, this is a league the threatened to fine Peyton Manning 25,000 per game for wanting to wear a different colored cleat...

For all their rules, the NFL does not have a rule requiring people to stand during the anthem... probably never thought they would have to. It is probably too late now. No one would have batted an eye if they made this rule prior to a few years ago but now it would invite way too much criticism.
