Is Nike crazy using Colin Kaepernick as their face?

[jtoler]

No one is paying to watch that guy drink beer. They are paying money to watch athletes play football. Not to protest whatever BS thing they are protesting. They don't do it in the NBA, MLB and NHL.

other athletes in other sports have knelt and protested since kap where is your fake outrage with them, y only focused on kap

That’s because trump made it a big thing in the NFL (remember the NFL/ didn’t let him become a (NFL owner)
- he’s just getting his revenge

[Mac4Lyfe]

funny how sensitive you guys are about this.

People just look for shit to be upset about. I never, ever paid attention who stood, sat, knelt during the anthem. I've never gave a shit about people not taking off their hat or not putting their hands on their hearts. Now all of a sudden, everyone is upset over stupid shit, as if we live in communist China. Should we force people to stand and sing? The anthem is played way too damn much at too many functions. It shouldn't even be song at sporting events. It's become watered down as the military is trying to recruit young kids with all the patriot bullshit. They are paying for advertisement to get people to enlist. It's paid patriotism. Why should I have to hear the anthem played when I go to vote? It use to mean something. Now, it's played before 2 Mexicans fight in a boxing match. Please make it stop. Fukkk, please let this shitty subject go away.

Dwight - first of all, you clearly do not want to know what they are protesting or you just think it's not worth protesting. They obviously think differently. Have you tried to understand why they are protesting? Even if you didn't agree with it, do you believe they should be able to express their beliefs? Sure, you don't like the way they are expressing it and when but isn't this America? People protest everyday, all day. I really don't give a shit. I went to the White House last month. There was at least 20+ groups protesting. We couldn't even get up close. Fukkk, move out the damn way. People protesting in fukking tents. People are always protesting. I didn't know 90% of the shit they were protesting but it's a free country, knock yourselves out people. An NFL game is a public forum. People, including athletes may protest, even though you paid money. I wish they would just stop playing the anthem. What is the point? It's not like it's the USA vs another country? Why are we playing the anthem in a meaningless game between 2 Americans? WTH?

Just asking... Do you get upset about the guy buying the drink? Do you think it's disrespectful for fans to sit, not pay attention, be on their iphones? Is it okay for fans to disrespect the flag in front of you? I teach my kids to respect the flag by facing the flag with their right hand on their heart but I wouldn't teach them to look down on others that don't. We were at an Astro's game the other day and at least 30% of the people were doing other shit when the anthem played. 30% and Houston is probably one of the most Patriotic cities in the US. There was a group in front of us and behind us that were talking the entire time and we just stood there quietly. It's a free country. It's not my place to shush them. Not unless I wanted to start a fight.

You can't tell people what to do. You can't order them and you can't demand them. Employers really shouldn't do it either. I blame Goodell as he's the worst commissioner in all of sports. He could have easily nipped this shit in the bud. But he's an idiot that created an issue out of a non issue. You can't change people. So why try??? I try to go late to games anyway. I don't care to see all the bullshit before the game, including the anthem. Just play ball dammit.

I don't go by labels and I'm damn sure not liberal but have a good sleep.

If you are upset about people sitting, kneeling, whatever over the anthem then you are looking for shit to be upset about. Liberal, Conservative, whoever you are. If you are worried about what others are doing, then that's a YOU problem.

Dwight MLB and hockey doesnt have enough black brothers

[1to1000]

How many of you cocksuckers stand at attention army the local sports bar when the anthem is playing? Every bar whether its las vegas, houston, dallas etc... muthfuckers dont even pay attention.

[1to1000]

Better yet go to the sports book and you'll see assholes not giving f. They are white black and brown. They veterans and non veterans.

[1to1000]

If dont like it, dont watch football. It's as simple as that retards. Go watch the Prez play 18 holes of golf and fukk pornstars.

I don't give a fukk what they are protesting. It could be about something I believe in. Doesn't matter. I don't care if a thousand fans are buying beers while the anthem is being played. I will be in Houston next week and watching the Mariners play the Astros a couple times and I will probably stand for the anthem. Just out of respect. Maybe I will be buying beers at the time. I don't know and I don't care.

Let me put is as clear as I can. I like my NFL. I like the pre-game, the post-game, half-time, betting, live betting, fantasy league etc. I don't wanna watch the pre-game on Sunday morning talking about this nonsense. I wanna see them talking about matchups, players, injuries , weather at the game and a whole slew of other football related things. Not some fukking assholes putting themselves above the game and kneeling for whatever reason. They don't put up with it in the NHL, MLB and the NBA. No one wants to watch their shit. They are they enjoy the game. To escape politics which is shoved in our faces almost everywhere nowadays. Same goes for those watching at home.

Yes everyone has the right to protest. And everyone has the right to disagree with the NFL players that do it during the games. Do you have the right to protest during the singing of happy birthday at your 10 year niece's birthday party? Yup. Should you? Only if you're an asshole like Kaeperdick.

I am not saying the majority is always right, but on this issue they are. Like it or not, that is how I see it.

[reigle9]

that was my fav post of yours

[ikid2groove415]

I never like kap- I think he’s the biggest phony bitch out there - but his kneeling has nothing 2 do with disrespecting the flag or military- it’s against police brutality- But Mr. Grab them by the Pusey saw a good opportunity 2 attack the NFL- and made it about disrespecting the military and flag - Case closed !!!

[1to1000]

People should be bitching about the almost 2 billion bad cops have cost tax payers instead of blindly thinking all cops are good. But the retards just dont get it.

[Venom72]

another brokedikk millennial liberal, what a novel concept around here

Yea its about the same as all the dumbass trump supporters around here

[1to1000]

Simple logic: nfl dont give a shit about kneeling or your complaining if they did they would put an end to it: again if you dont like it stop watching retards

[Mac4Lyfe]

I don't give a fukk what they are protesting.

I hear you Dwight. Of course it's a dick move to protest at work or a birthday party, etc. But, this country is full of "look at me" assholes. I really don't care what people do as I'm never surprised at the depths people will go to get attention. If someone feels so convicted about an issue, then knock themselves out. I wouldn't give it any energy. I think the majority of people really don't give a shit but folks on the extreme sides are making it too much of an issue. I wish everyone would just ignore it, so we can move on. Unfortunately, we will never get away with politics. It is in our face as the 2 parties have too many agendas.

Goodell is a fukk up. If I'm the commissioner of a multi-billion dollar company, I would have got together with the players, especially the kneelers and say, "look guys, we are all making gobs of fukking money". "you don't shit where you lay". "If we piss off one of our customers, we lose money." "Let's find another way that won't piss in our soup". I would have sat down with Kaepernick a long time ago and read him the riot act. Play nice, or don't play at all.

Ya foos? This isn’t a story if MR. Grab you by the pusey was a NFL owner- Case closed - he made this BIG !!

I wanted to enjoy the White House. There's always one guy that fukks it up for everyone else.

It's a butt ugly shoe anyways and should have been pulled for that reason not the flag..

YOU are the retard arsehole. You are the one who is looking to get his now proven worthless arse kicked. You are nothing but a phony crybaby who gets his arse kicked on a regular basis and who has a nice long arrest record. Go f**k yourself loser.

[BigdaddyQH]

Look at it this way. Kap is a wana-be black. Nike depends on blacks to kill themselves over their shoe products. Whites could care less about them. Nike will eventually fold up. Who gives a caca anyways?

Not buying it. All a publicity stunt by Nike to get his name back in the news. Never intended to sell those shoes.
