Krapernick

[Drama Queen]

I'm not familiar with his circumstances

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf AKA Chris Jackson

Did he use Chanel No. 5 ?

Craig Hodges when the Chicago Bulls visited the white house.

What the fuck does this rich guy think he's doing.

What's next? Spouting off on Twitter about the President? Belitting prisoners of war? I mean, what fucking rich person has the right to complain and make a statement about the status of the country.

If you don't like America, Colin GTFO. It's a GREAT country.

Oh, and nice red hat dickweed.

Nick Denton would be proud.

It wasn't disrespectful. I've served home and abroad. I would only find it disrespectful if Colin was lynched or arrested for protesting. I'm still waiting for the official guide that lets me know when its okay to protest and what things I can protest. Its not like he forced somebody to stand or made somebody else sit down. This is America. I served so people can sit during the Anthem, spit at my uniform, and drink Zima.

There are only certain ways you're allowed to complain about problems in America.

Nothing but the utmost respect for Kaepernick

Standing on his principles and fighting for what he believes in. Everyone wants to talk about how much money he makes, but that makes his protest even BETTER. He could of just as easily sat on that $19,000,000 and not said a word, but he chose to put the money, the fame, the prestige, and the life of being an NFL player on the line for something that he truly believes in. I have to respect that. Anybody can talk the talk, but when the shit really goes down, how many are willing to walk the walk ? Kaepernick is. That's grown man shit, right there.

so he's got to spend money to make a statement ?

What I see most people overtly or impliedly stating is a view that failing to stand for the National Anthem disrespects more than the narrow target to which he claims to be limiting his protest.

And I find it to be a legit point that his way of expressing his proclaimed outrage doesn't require him to really invest that much.

If he puts his money where his mouth is, I'll be more impressed.

Ok.

dope statement.

[T.D-Bag]

For the most part this rings true....

" People who've disrespected and even threatened the POTUS for 8 years are demanding Kaepernick show America respect. "

"Walk the walk" yeah, okay. He didn't do a damn thing but make himself look like an idiot. If he really wants to walk the walk stop collecting a pay check from the white man and leave the country that has left him and the people he's "standing up" for so oppressed.

I'd also like to know how sitting on the bench during the national anthem is "grown man shit". Honestly some of the most childish shit I've ever seen out of a grown man.

kaepernick sitting during the anthem isn't walking the walk in the same way that muhammad ali did when he went to jail, but give me a break. he's not saying that all white people systematically oppress all black people. he's saying that justice hasn't been served for all. telling the guy to give back his money and get the hell out is a step away from saying he should thank white people for ending slavery.

i really doubt any of the people getting offended about this care when guys like matt birk skip white house visits because they're pro life. if that dude has the right to make a statement, so does kaepernick.

Actually AV, Tim Thomas caught a raft of shit from the media and the public when he refused to visit the White House after the B's won the Cup.

I feel like he's trying to send the right message and he has every right to let the world know how he feels but the way he's choosing to carry it out is certainly not walking any walk or grown man shit.

i know what you mean, but he sat during the anthem knowing the criticism would come. that's walking the walk more so than staying silent.

imo, if you think that kaepernick was trying to send the right message, you should be concerned with the things that he was protesting than the fact that he possibly chose the wrong platform.
