Colin Kaepernick sits during National Anthem as protest.

**MoneyLineDawg** · 08-30-16, 09:49 AM

America ain't perfect but it's a helluva lot better than most places out there

Where else can someone like Kaepernick be discarded by his birth parents, saved by his adoptive parents and then given a free education to play a game he's good at....then parlay all of that into becoming rich and famous for being good at a game??

Some other countries out there this can happen but not many

Try to stick with the memes. When you try to form sentences and make points, it doesn't come off as well.

Sometimes Nationalism is the worse form of tyranny. Just ask the Germans. Kap is more of an American than this silly bitch. So the guy won't fall in line, that;s what Americans do.

Do we really want to live in a country were they make you stand for a song, or can't burn a flag. Being able to is what makes the country great.

The song was originally about hate for slaves that fought for England anyway. Can you really say that song & flag means the same thing to all of us? Ali did much worse than Kap, & today you all think the guy is a hero.

Some Orwell quotes may help here.

“In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.”

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.”

“War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.”

“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

“The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.”

“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

Don't hate the protest, love or hate what it stands for. The people that think they are being patriots hating on Kap are not real patriots.

So because he is rich & plays sports he should stand up & shut his mouth? Takes balls to do what he is doing, like it or not.

I'm not saying that at all....im saying America is clearly one of the better places in the world for oppurtunity no matter who you are

Everything in life isn't perfect and people should count their blessings instead of bitch bitch bitch about any little slight or problem they have

So we should take what were given & settle for less? Not point out real flaws to the country? I bet the people running this country would love that.

Kaepernick is a spoiled child raised by white parents and given every opportunity in life. His career is basically over but rather than being a teammate and stand for a couple minutes once a week for half the year, he chooses to make a spectacle of himself and puts himself ahead of his team. To me, that makes him a selfish coward. Football is a team sport and his team pays him millions to play a game for 3 hours a week. He's a POS.

Kaeperdick has some huge karma coming his way. I doubt he will make it the entire season.

He was even given 1st & goal with 4 tries to win a Superbowl. Didn't care then, but I'm glad the punk did not win a ring.

all this activism started when his career took a dump last few years. would this have happened if he was still a future HOF? hard to say.

To be fair kaepernick did say Hillary should be in prison so I'm kind of on the fence with this muzzy

Yes, but the quote is not what you think it means.

Courage???

The blacks getting killed are pure garbage

Never stick up for garbage

Kill all the criminals

Trump finally stating this is the best working running country in the world right now! much in part ot the progress made in the last 8 years.

last week trump was saying it was horrible here for blacks (like what Kap is sayin I thought he was endorsing Trump and Trump would buddy up as thats exactly the message Trump wants to toss out there for blacks to consider) why the change for Trump from "what have you got to lose" lasted just a week for trump? to this below? this guy is lost

Trump
find a country that works better
Let him try
It won’t happen

**khicks26** · 08-30-16, 10:35 AM

Did you all know that the government pays the NFL (your tax dollars) to put on military displays before & at halftime of its games?

I absolutely would have no problem doing this. I'm respectful to all countries, especially my own.

Also, as I've mentioned, all my Mexicans love me. I'm a champion of the Mexican.

If he really wanted to step-up and make a difference he should give away his salary this year to help out those who need help. Bitching and moaning only gets paid off in small amounts of pity that won't make a difference.
