The NFL wouldn't be going through this if kaep was white. Do you deny it? A white man can be fired when his work performance isn't up to standard but blacks play the race card. We will know when it happens. Kaepernick was ranked 29 out of the top 100 quarterbacks. Which of the 70 qbs ranking below Kaepernick in 2016 were let go after ? http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2016/passing.htm 32, and each has 2 to 4 quarterbacks http://www.nfl.com/teams |

Is there a rule they have to play the national anthem? Maybe if they stop playing it, it would solve itself...

It was only introduced during the second war to stir up support for the troops. It's time has passed and it should go back to being about the sport. or if fans want it, they should keep it for those who WANT to do it, without it being mandatory. |

Well you want to piss off your boss. Disrupt business ..you get let go. Others in the industry ( and it is a industry) see what you did and they don't want you doing it while they are paying you. So you don't get hired Nothing new with that..business 101 My advice to him: Buy a Popeye's franchise before all your money is gone..which will be soon ..because either you owe one or in a year or so you will be working the drive thru window at one He'd done..out of the game too long and tainted..by his own doing Hope your personal protest was worth the unemployment, Colin You da man !! Lol not buying it. This man was not the only one to 'disrupt business'. how many of the others were cut out? I dont think the NFL any longer deserves Colin. I just want him to win the suit to send the message that certain types of retaliation against people's livelihoods for exercising free expression wont be tolerated. nothing worthwhile is ever achieved without sacrifice!!! and,SOMETIMES,SOME people are willing to place their values above their own personal gain! THOSE are the people who you know actually believe that what they are fighting for is the right thing,because they are willing to SACRIFICE something of value to try to make it happen. that is A LOT different than all of these people who CLAIM that they believe in something,but aren't willing to try to do anything that might cost them something to try to make it happen,except spout off a few cheap,and empty words. but,the people of integrity who are willing to SACRIFICE are the ones who actually change the world!! 
but,it was for a cause that HE truly believes is worth it,because HE isn't small minded,and one dimensional,like SOME people are,who cant see past their own small world that they have imprisoned themselves in! [PLUS,he doesn't NEED a job to survive,since he was paid over $12 MILLION DOLLARS,JUST in 2016,not to mention over $50 MILLION DOLLARS MORE that HE WAS PAID off of the contract he signed in 2014,and has GIVEN AWAY MILLIONS of dollars out of his own pocket to charity,so..do you REALLY think that HE is the 'jobless loser' you are trying to pretend that he is??] [I wish I was a 'jobless loser' like him!!!] 
Colin Kaepernick recently bought a brand new Lamborghini luxury car for $450,000 _____________________________________________________________________ yes, yes, disrespect the country that allowed for you to have the opportunities you do. the voice of the downtrodden.... the hero of the less fortunate..... Lol. so all that matters is what the country 'allows' you to do, in spite of what it may do to others? interesting. is it 'disrespect' then when certain people at the top feel they should get tax breaks instead of investing in the country that 'allowed' them their wealth? Is that what he is protesting.. tax breaks?, or is that just a spin off to another subject? btw,, exactly what is he protesting? |

"To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder." |

I dont think he was protesting his pay. There have always been very well paid people in this country. It says alot to me when despite their piece of the pie, they stand up for others who have not been as fortunate. |

Bodies in the streets?.. people getting away with murder? Well, then I apologies .I didn't know he was talking about the streets of Chicago. He's absolutely right.. blacks are being slaughtered there... every day... 365 days a year. My mistake |

and maybe, just maybe, that one action the young man chose on a world stage had more of an impact than all the bigotry, fingerpointing, blaming, and rhetoric anyone can produce on the one of a billion anonymous internet forums ever can ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/fatal-police-shootings-of-unarmed-people-have-significantly-declined-experts-say/2018/05/03/d5eab374-4349-11e8-8569-26fda6b404c7_story.html?utm_term=.8284fcddae2b In 2016, Alpert, working with Justin Nix, a criminologist at the University of Nebraska in Omaha, used the Post database and demographic data to examine the racial disparities in unarmed shootings in 2015. That year, police killed 38 unarmed blacks and 32 unarmed whites. Whites accounted for 49 percent of all 2015 fatal police shootings, while blacks constituted 26 percent. The academic researchers found that blacks who were fatally shot were twice as likely to be unarmed as whites. Since that finding, the number of shootings of unarmed men and women has dropped ... UNARMED MEN AND WOMEN (regardless of race) might partially have the actions of one brave man to thank ... Only in america does it seem logical to dismiss deaths by the STATE because criminals cause death. |

If I stand up for breast cancer, would that mean I didnt care about lung cancer? People can speak up for a specific issue but still care about the broader issues surrounding it. |
