Colin Kaepernick

[GiaCat]

I heard he lost his job as the starting quarterback. He has been told all his life how great he is, so his enormous fragile ego may not be able to take the first rejection he has ever faced. This may explain his recent bizarre behaviour. Just a thought.

Because he is standing up for what he believed is right something is wrong with him? Me personally I don't give a fuck about black lives matter or the national anthem. But knowing the kind of backlash he would get, that move took courage. I don't respect his quarterback play, but I do respect his courage. You gotta have balls to pull something like that.

Who did what now?

 

[NOIRTRASH]

He streaked naked thru the shower room when it was empty.

I think he's an idiot and an ingrate. It would take ten of him to make one Simone Biles, or one Simone Manuel, as far as I'm concerned. No, ten is too few. Make that a hundred.

Really?

Why didn't he start sitting down last season when the Rams were taking their field saluting #BlackLiversMatter?

I'm leaning more towards his personal outrage that he's being oppressed because he deserves his job as an NFL QB.

But as Jerry Glanville once posited [paraphrase] NFL stands for Not For Long if you keep making those sorts of plays...

The NFL would have taken action against them.


Ask the Cowboys...

It was unAmerican when the Dixie Chicks spoke out against Bush.

It's unAmerican for Colin Kaepernick to sit out of the anthem.

It is uber American for Trump to say America isn't great, anymore. (Gotta make it great again...)

It is uber American to speak out against Obama.

Why do people celebrate Trump saying America is no longer great, but condemn Colin for the same? It is absolutely American to speak out. It is the definition of American.

Was muhamed ali unamerican?

Is Unamerica one of those tiny backwaters in Central America?


I thought he was from the South, but not that far south...

But, but, what if... Stfu you whiny jew fag!

 

[juttjaw]

He's been doing it all preseason. Why is this a big deal now? It has nothing to do with his status or position with the team. Everyone just noticed it and decided to make it a big dramatic deal. It's his right to sit. Take a look at the crowd during any sporting event as the national anthem plays. There are jerk offs not paying attention everywhere. At least he knew what was going on.

No, this was only the second game that he did it.

Most teams prefer their players to stand and be respectful as part of branding, since the guy plays in San Francisco, that sort of branding is a microaggression.

Colin is 100% allowed to express his feelings, just as I am allowed to express mine that he is a stupid hypocrite. I noticed at his house, he has this fancy security system to keep him "safe" from guys like Freddie Gray and Mike Brown.

 

[eyerami]

The factual friction is caused by the racist piece of progressive crap demeaning as oppressive (to whom he considers he and his ilk) the very white system that nourished him to where he is today, an elite place in that same oppressing white system where he still enjoys all the luxury of that elite status, while taking all the millions of bounty that same white system affords him...

There is no better "oppressive" white system or American exceptionalism example than the NFL (although there are innumerable other just as equal American white system examples), yet this racist piece of progressive crap wants to paint a propaganda picture with one of his hypocritical hands that he and all other "peoples of color" are oppressed by the white systems in general, while happily collecting all the fruits of those same white systems with the other?

Right.

Actual protestors who truly feel oppression refuse to participate in any way in what they charge is oppression, while phonies like this racist, progressive piece of crap still participate fully and freely in the very thing they falsely claim oppresses them.

Don't know much about the american anthem, or what it means . But I never took seriously these protocols.

On the other hand, that's the way to reach many people and to get one's message across : through well-known athlets and other celebrities.
People are more receptive to them, as opposed to listening to some politician or a long and convoluted academic speech.

On paper, yes. But we all know how the court of public opinions is, and how hypocritical the country tends to be.

I don't think the former Cavs and Lakers coach is that destitute. Dude got PAID!

if you ask me (and i know you were gonna), the whole thing is kinda dumb.

does CK similarly disapprove of the billions of dollars we give to african nations every single year? or the billions more in food, medicine, aid, etc?
the country isn't perfect, we do good and we screw up sometimes, too.
but apparently HE'S perfect, yeah?

besides, the government doesn't sponsor or promote black oppression any more than the black community en masse sponsors or promotes crime. his logic is flawed.

 

[eyerami]

Remember back in '14 when the poor, racially oppressed Kaepernick called black Chicago Bear Lamarr Houston the n-word, and a ref threw an unsportsmanlike conduct flag on him, and the NFL followed with a $11k fine?

Like the progressive, two-faced chickenshit he is, Kaepernick lyingly denied doing so and, at first, Houston helped his bro's coverup by stating he didn't hear anything - although later Houston fully retracted his own lie and confirmed that the poor, racially oppressed, chickenshit Kaepernick did, in fact, racially slur him.

Ahhhh, only in "white" America...

Where a poor, racially oppressed chickenshit can protest about being racially oppressed, then racially oppress others, all the while collecting over $100 million from the very "white" system he protests so much against.

I had no idea you had to be perfect to protest something.

Eyer is going to be so pissed!

I'm surprised that he drew so much criticism (hypochrite or so on), or that the other team thought he was brave or a hero. He's none of that, imo: he just decided to make his views public.

Quite a difference from George Clooney, who flew to Europe to give them lessons in 'humanity' re migrants. A donation would have been a lot more appreciated, thank you.
