grego Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Alot of red herrings and such here (surprise!).... I don't believe anyone is saying there is no more racism in America. Only that when a country has twice elected a half black president, the contention that there is systematic racism (which seems to be what Kaep is saying) rings hollow. Anyway, back to the usual partisan and tribal accusations and such..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 There is absolutely no reason for the national anthem to played in any domestic sporting event. Just none. It's stupid. And Kap well within his right not to stand. He a real one. 3 hours ago, justice98 said: All these comments about how much money he makes so he shouldnt complain, are the most absurd things I've heard on this board in a while. There's a black president, you make a lot of money, so you shouldnt protest racism? What kinda thinking is that? Not liking his specific form of protest is one thing, but saying he's doing well for himself so he should keep quiet or racism isnt that prevalent is asinine. Bruh, white supremacy is a mental illness that most white people refuse to understand. This country is perfect to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Next up, Kap will hold his breath until he turns blue. Many will claim that "we still don't get it" It's easy to point at the problem. A lot harder to actually do something about it. Message board warriors and millionaire quarterbacks have that in common at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornaSkinsFan83 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Isn't he trying to do something about it by refusing to stand--catching massive heat in the process--and trying to bring attention to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I spend every day defending that right. I also defend the right of people to talk crap about him for doing it. Two way street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wanted to show everybody he is still "of the street" despite his millions. No one is going to give two squats about what he thinks of anything if he can't play some good football soon.

TheGreatBuzz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I haven't seen anything. I feel like if a famous person were to show up at a protest we would hear about it. But I did a quick search and....still can't really find anything active he has done. Can you show me where he has done something that actually requires effort?

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Kaepernick could organize a 10 million inter species march on Washington and you'd still make the same ignorant ass joke because you clearly don't give a **** about what's happening outside your bubble but keep going next thing you'll tell me is that he's growing his hair out to look more "hood" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 1 hour ago, BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 said: Also it's really um interesting (I guess?) how everyone was applauding Muhammad Ali's stances once he died but Kaep is essentially doing the same. Maybe Ali became less scary when he couldn't speak anymore? Maybe because Ali was the GOAT at his sport? People respect Ali because he put his money where his mouth was and actually had to sit out of his chosen profession for a while. Then he came back and dominated. I think Adam Schefter said it best in his tweet earlier this evening: Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 8h8 hours ago Colin Kaepernick didn't stand for National Anthem in first 2 preseason games, either: few noticed because he wasn't in uniform, didn't play. The consensus seems to be that if it means something to you, there are other things that you can do. If he is, that's great. I haven't heard about them. If he isn't, then this is kind of petulant.
