Lost respect for them.

As one comment mentions, how about taking a knee for the slain officers in Florida? What a grandstanding bunch.

The Colin Kaepernick story has gotten seemingly endless attention because its reach goes far beyond football.

A pretty good reminder of that came Saturday afternoon in New York City, which is far removed from Kaepernick’s former NFL home of San Francisco. At a rally in Brooklyn, dozens of current and former New York police officers wore shirts that said “#WeStandWithKap” and at the end of the rally they took a knee and raised their fist, according to the New York Daily News.

A bunch of clowns.

There are lots of reasons not to watch the NFL. The refusal of various teams to hire a quarterback they don't want is not a reason.

Kap should have stood respectfully when the National Anthem was played. I don't care much how he feels about the country, but he should have respected the people around him as they expressed their feelings.

Is he also in favor of non Christians playing games on their iphones while Christians pray? ....... Yeah. Kinda the same thing.

He demands respect for his actions, but his actions showed lack of respect.
Sorry, Kap. I hope you are gone forever.

Colin is not playing because he sucks. I am sure if Brady took a knee, he would still be playing. Many players have taken a knee and they are playing.

Apparently they want to sympathize with those who want to ambush and kill them. That should fill the ranks.

Wow, just gained a TON of respect for the NYPD. Very brave of them to stand up to the racist crazies out there.

Why woud a team sign Kaepernick when there are plenty of players, as good or better, who aren't a PITA?

How about taking a knee for both? Violence against anyone is wrong.
