are any of you war vets?
can i use the mcdonalds playplace? ... as long as my shoes are off, ok.

pretty much all knowledgeable and objective opinions agree that he is skilled enough to be on an nfl team roster and is obviously being black balled not related to performance

thankfully its a bit more complex than that, some people even suggested kaepernick as aaron rodgers replacement, when he got injured, which is utterly ridiculous
not to mention the salary question

actually i just looked at all 32 teams and not a single one of them has a need for the guy

Or he is being black balled, because he can't keep his politics out of a broadcast football game.

it's not just a football game if a man doesn't have the freedom to choose between standing and kneeling when a flag waves and an anthem plays

You ol' boys incorporating worship made it what it is not a man bringing awareness to abuse from an injustice system

no one ever thought it was about veterans. you're showing yourself to be ignorant, at least you admit you haven't looked into it. The protest is about racial injustice. It was changed because it was insensitive to veterans in its virgin form, but it's not about veterans or veterans rights. the conservative right made it about that because they knew if they made it look like blacks were disrespecting veterans the public would turn on them even more than they were. and here you are, a sucker who bought it. good thing you have been avoiding looking like an ignorant fool for so long.



this is incorrect. he's objectively good enough to be a backup for most teams, a 3rd for any team, and an outside chance for starter for a few specific rosters. but for that amount of money he wants he doesn't belong on any roster. he's a backup that wants starter money, because he's famous.



"too black" and "too much like a thug" are quotes i've heard personally from his family. so both i guess

No one is arguing wtf someone does when the anthem plays, just anywhere. We're talking about an entertainment venue that we pay for, aka cable TV etc.
If that jerk wants to get all public about something, fine... do it on his own dime.

There's nothing stopping him from buying time on TV, or writing a book, or gettin on a soapbox. It's just when he USES the NFL, the viewers etc., to get his message out, that he should be shut down.

He's paid to play football, he knew about the National Anthem being played at football games (and what football players were expected to do) before he left grade school.


This is just another case of some millionaire fuck, cheating the NFL and the viewer, because he's a whiner.

want politics out of football?

no flag
no anthem

It's the National football league, and it's already agreed upon by the NFL and the viewers. The kneeling of dipshyts... isn't. Or any other activity during the Natl. Anthem.

that's not how the free market works. you as the consumer can choose to stop buying the product, then they can make changes. people spoke, and the league answered. but the players themselves owe you nothing in this transaction, they are employees that can be hired and fired.

i would say i find it hilarious that you think you're literally owed something by what comes out of a TV screen, but obvious things are hard to make comedic. you're a predictable selfish ideologue. this is par for your course. more predictable than old yellar.



omg did you just emphasize a word as an argument. how cute, you're living up to your baby boomer idiocy.
