He also does way more in charity than almost anyone that gets offended by him


I don't care if he's done charity. They all do charity. Trump does charity. Doesn't make them or their cases any better.

There's a difference between millions of people losing their jobs and not being able to support their family and someone that wants to virtue signal.

I don't care that he kneeled. He can go kneel wherever he wants.

Sorry, their not the Same. We could be facing one of the greatest depressions of our time and then you have a spoiled child that was raised by a rich family and got everything he wanted in life. Show me someone that has struggled and I'll agree not some pompous child.


this is of course silly. firstly because you used the wrong "they're". secondly because the movement had many people in it, even in the first year of kneeling perhaps a dozen players across the league joined in on many different teams. 2nd year almost every team had a kneeler at some point. meetings with the NFL included many players, not just Kaep.

Kaep got the focus because he WAS a star, and was in decline. he was the biggest name of the initial wave of kneelers. he became the symbol of the movement, but that was media driven. and largely because he was raised by a white family and his career was in decline, it was a story they could write easily to make the whole movement look like a publicity stunt.

i mean think of it this way, at a total guess maybe 40-50 players have kneeled in that movement. without google name 2 that aren't Kaep. u cant of course, Kaep soaked up the sunlight. u should be against just him, not the movement that he stole to offset the loss of his QB career.

I never stated the movement... I stated: The difference between someone kneeling and the potential of millions going hungry or dying. Which isn't even in the same realm of importance. It's ignorance to compare them both equally. If you say it's of the same importance then you're a fool.

Are you describing our sitting president?
With or without realizing it?

Good juxtaposition. Good visual description of the entire situation.

You just have the wrong perspective. That comic is playing with the idea that the same people who attacked Kaep are now protesting for a haircut. its not that they're equally important, its that they involve the same people. i'm an advocate for CJ reform, but even i understand its not as important as the national economy. as does the person who made that comic, as does icemage. your point is moot here. its a comic playing on the idea that before a protest wasn't legitimate because it was in the NFL or w/e other excuse, but now a lack of a haircut is an excuse to protest, for some. im sure many protesting are doing so because its their finances at risk, and im sure some are bored as fuck or just freedom advocates who dont like the govt telling them what they can and can't do. and im also sure both groups were anti Kaep, thus the meme.
