Is Nike crazy using Colin Kaepernick as their face?

[Kermit]

It’s not a good move paver let me handle the politics I’m an expert 17 years ago I ran for office

You mean you ran from office to office as a gopher.

[thechaoz]

Absolutely Love It. History will look back greatly on these moments. Remember Owens and the other black men that protested at the Olympics? They were hated, reviled and dealing with the same type of mentality that JJ and others have posted in this thread. Now they are considered champions of human rights.

Let me make this simple for you simpletons.

1. The anthem has NOTHING to do with the troops...nothing.

2. Taking a silent knee is a sign of REPSECTFUL , non-violent dissent in American culture and history, as well as around the world.

3. The NFL PAYS teams to perform the national anthem. Yes , you read that right. It's paid patriotism. Millions upon Millions.


Why doesn't Jerry/other owners donate that money to wounded veterans, or homeless veterans, or families of the dead?

You guys really need to think about what's actually going on here before being so reactionary and angry

Kap is a hero.

[thechaoz]

Also old angry White racists who are NFL fans in the USA won't even remotely be a tiny spec of a spec of a drop in the bucket of sales.

They are a multi billion dollar international company. They aren't stupid. They have laser precision marketing and the smartest people in the biz. They ran the numbers, and this will help the bottom line.

It's weird how Kap's never had a sitdown interview to talk about the issues.

[Thrilla]

Dating and having a blast on the weekends this summer.. Sports gambling is not my life on the weekends anymore, if I'm around I'll play the events and post.. Need new balance in my life, working it... ...

I like that. Balance important, helps eventually with winning in sports betting. Dating ha? Play on playa...old man.

Anyway you missed this thread.

Say something ignorant. (possibly with a racial undertone)

Seriously? That is kind of surprising.

[stealthyburrito]

Seriously? That is kind of surprising.

Maybe news outlets are colluding against him so he doesn’t get a sit down interview.

[The Giant]

Seriously? That is kind of surprising.

He would get destroyed unless it was someone like Jemele Hill lobbing him softball questions.

[Mr KLC]

Obviously Nike has a different definition of “sacrificing everything”.

[Kermit]

Maybe news outlets are colluding against him so he doesn’t get a sit down interview.

You would think that CNN and MSNBC would pay him big bucks for an interview to talk about his cause and bash on Trump.

[JIBBBY]

^^^Kapp is an idiot and not very bright that's why he never sat down and talked about it. He would have been exposed for his ignorance...

He got benched and started kneeling that's all he did. No one knew what he was protesting about early on... No one really cared.. He wore pig socks and was anti law enforcement then anti American....That's all he could do to try and stay relevant at the time.....

It's all a joke and a crock of shiiit.. Kapp knows it and smart Americans know it today.. NFL owners know it and that's why he can't get a real job anymore.. He brought it on himself and he changed NOTHING for the good of the people... He helped divide the Country, put cops lives in danger and made the NFL look like crap and lose revenue..https://theundefeated.com/features/c...asingly-toxic/

Race baiters are everywhere and they appeal to certain peeps. Don "sour fruit" Lemon's race baiting appeals to the fake news junkies who still actually watch CNN. Al Sharpton has his zombies. Etc. Heck, people still wear Che Guevara shirts.




Nike appeasing snowflakes. Dumb move on their part to team up with a loser. I guess

It's a scumbag, lowest common denominator move but not a dumb move unfortunately.

[jjgold]

We’re all laughing in the Republican areas

[deadphish]

so all these Kap haters have no issue w/a President who had to lie, cheat, and collude his way into the office...not to mention that he is a greedy racist, narcissist, & sexuall harassing douche. but when a black man protests peacefully about a serious issue in this country, one that Trump gives 2 poos about, you treat him like he has murdered somebody.

f-ing republicans make me sick! get ready for the revolution that is coming.

The Olympics was a world wide sporting contest in another time. Long before the internet. For fukk sakes, you have council people kneeling now. Kids in their living room watching the game kneeling. It idiotic. Most haven't a clue. They are just desperate to be part of something.

Some race baiting pig from BLM says so? Cops killing blacks? Please! Cops kill more Whites than other color. Where are the protests? LOL. Blacks killing blacks is huge problem but no one seems to care. Why? Because they rather push a false narrative. Race baiting and divisiveness grabs more attention from unhinged liberals and the MSM. They are allergic to facts. Allergic to reality.

It has everything to do with respect. Everything. Fans don't want to see these millionaire losers put themselves ahead of the game. They are there to escape politics and all the other shit in their lives and watch a game. If you can't wrap your head around that, then its hopeless.

You know who should be held responsible for Trump being in office?

These people. They basically told everyone who was going to vote against Trump to stay home on election night. Talk about FAKE NEWS.

[darrell74]

I unfollowed Darren Rovell on Twitter.
He was tweeting out stupid shit, anyways.
But when he tweeted this, final straw.
Stopped watching Dan Patrick show because he has his jerseys in his mancave.

Kap supporters have worthless opinions.
They don't get it.

Supporting some crackhead 'rights' to resist arrest somehow supersedes the importance of the Normandy invasion.
Yeah, good luck getting me to listen to your worthless, spoiled, elitist political bullshi++

[vitterd]

I’m buying all Nike from now on. Kap is an average QB but he’s better than pretty much every backup in the league by far. I mean, some of these 2nd stringers are pure garbage.

Most of all this kind of stuff triggers the dummy trump voters and that’s enough for me to enjoy this.

[Enkhbat]

I like it. Lets face it Colin Kaepernick isn't disrespecting the flag. He is against police discrimination against people of color.

[Kermit]

I like it. Lets face it Colin Kaepernick isn't disrespecting the flag. He is against police discrimination against people of color.

I kind of agree with him as well, but are police really discriminating against people of color, or does it just seem like that because people of color are committing violent crime at a highly disproportionate rate when compared to their population?

I live in a small town, and of the last 20 or so people killed, the very large majority of them have been black, killed by other blacks.

[Kermit]

And didn't Kap get a bunch of shit because he came out and admitted that he didn't even vote?

Fake news!!! Keep watching CNN and MSNBC. Brain washing is a biiiitch...

Try watching a Trump rally for once and get the real low down... Now go find a safe place until then and enjoy the booming economy, job market, stock market, no wars and lower taxes in the real time right now...

After watching this vid from 6 months ago, it is all starting to make sense.

You're a back-stabbing Republican, your party is full of them. When a fellow Republican like BigDay is battling for his life you have the gall to post shit like this.

Curious?

BIGDAY has money from what I've read and know over the years, not sure why he would even want charitable donations from SBR while going thru this illness of his?.. The dude got sick, has med insurance and now in the hospital and on the rebound and getting better hopefully.. Is what it is...

It's nice though that people appreciate and care for BIGDAY enough to crank up this gesture of kindness on SBR.. I donated 2 bet points to the cause just because.. ..
Jibs to cents for what ever it's worth... Carry on lads and stay healthy.

^^ I read ya guys. I just always came to the understanding that if you DIE then there is a family charity fund that is created that really helps the family, burial costs and what not.. That's especially big in the South.. Church people in particularly really rally around the families that lost the bread winners or a spouse..

I've never heard of a charitable donation started for someone that got sick unless if was for the cost of surgeries or organs when insurance didn't cover it

Anyways, carry on gents, you are all good people.. I'm sure BIGDAY and the family really appreciates it regardless..

[JIBBBY]

^^ My posts are real and I don't beat around the bush EVER!!!. I speak from the heart always.. Sorry you can't handle reality.. Grow up... Go find a safe place...

BIGDAY will be fine... I sense this.. He's a good guy..

I just didn't understand why there are multiple threads and a charitable fund started.. You guys are acting like he's gonna die or something on this forum. I don't see that happening.. I keep it positive..

[Nappyx]

Roethlisberger - has been accused of rape twice and is still in the NFL...
Ray Lewis - was accused of murder and obstruction of justice and continued to play in the NFL
AP - abuses kids and can play in the NFL.
Ray Rice - beat his girlfriend on video and came back to play in the NFL.

There are a lot worse individuals in the NFL than Kaepernick who continue to play... He's obviously being blackballed.

Or maybe he doesn't want to play and is doing just enough to keep from getting signed.

There are plenty of people that are still kneeling that are playing.

But he was the first and became the face of it. Huge difference.

If I was told that I had to compete for my job with the worst QB in the NFL, I would be offended and question my talent. Perhaps there is more to all of this than black people being mistreated by the police.

lol! too much irony in the brain washing comment.
lower taxes? hog wash! only the top 1% are getting anything significant from that.
job market...on same trend it was w/Obama.
economy not really booming..it appears it's about to get really bad.
no wars? you truly are ignorant...
