    Yeah we get along pretty well these days mate,black girls love the white guys over here actually. Youll always get some racisim amongst us like you said,but cant change that.

    I know what your getting at obviously,but its not the time and place,people aren't going to want to hear it,probably a lot of vets at the game or teammates that have family that are fighting as we speak.

    The history your talking about,that probably hasnt crossed Kaepernicks mind,he strikes me as a middle class guy from the Midwest that wants to be a hard ass gangster,ive watched a lot of his interviews,seems very obnoxious.

        Kaps always been that suburban kid trying to gain some sort of street cred. Too many dumbasses like him thinking they have some empty void to fill because they are brought up by a good family and cant relate to the thugs they look up to.

            So the reason black people don't respect other black people???? The biggest threat to a black person is another black person at around 1000% the rate of any white person.
            I will pay for a 1 way ticket to the UK for you so you can leave this awful country. I'm sure you can find a reason to play the fake professional victim card over there as well. Nobody is buying the con anymore. Time for a new strategy.

                                  I am hearing rumors that Tom Brady is organizing a League-wide "Sit-Down" during the National Anthems when he returns from his suspension.

                                    I am friends with a few africans that tell me how blessed they are to be in the usa. Why can't the rest of america feel this way?

                                        I love seeing FB posts telling Kaep to go suk a dik and stuff

                                        Love it how people are going off on him.

                                        Why does he think he's the spokesman for racism in the USA? Does he think he's fukking Superman? Fukking dumb punk.

                                          He's gonna get his attention for 15 minutes and then just go back to being a backup to Blaine Gabbert.

                                                  Exactly.

                                                  Kaepernick was raised in Turlock, California.

                                                  Demographics:

                                                  70% White
                                                  1.7% African American

                                                  Last thing Kaep is is Gangster.

                                                      Do you guys think he would've stood if $61 million of his contract wasn't guaranteed?

                                                        Yea, my guess is (after seeing that photo if it is indeed his adoptive fam) is his friends have his ear and while he thinks he is helping them out and trying to bring light to an issue, the manner in which he is going about it is inappropriate.

                                                        And I do still stand by I think everyone should do a term of service in some form before making it all big time on tv and shit.

                                                            I don't think it has anything to do with his contract Giant. I think he felt strongly enough about it to do it regardless of the money.

                                                              So, you're saying if there were specific words in his contract that said he had to stand during the national anthem, otherwise his $61 million could be recouped, he still would have sat it out?

                                                              Yeah, I don't think so.

You can rationalize that easily looking at it from your perspective however not everyone is made the same.
