Just exercising my First Amendment rights as well to say that if an action that is non-violent and poses no threat or physical harm at all to anyone else for just a few minutes prompts someone to tell them to leave the nation, it does not say much for their tolerance level or respect for other Americans. That person has First Amendment rights, but obviously disrespects the same rights for others if they are telling them to leave.

Just sayin...
Encouraging someone to leave isn't disrespectful.

I never felt the need to do that. I am capable of merely disagreeing, but still respecting the rights of others. It is disrespectful to tell someone to leave the nation, who has every legal right to be here. No worries. I won't try to convince you. Just explaining my views. Agree to disagree.

You're free to your opinion of what constitutes disrespect. It's all good.

Looking back on this, Kaepernick can be summed up like this: He wants attention. We never heard him do such things until he was fading from the limelight. Suddenly he kneels for the anthem. Now he has the attention, but he is a pariah as a result. Now he wants to stand for the national anthem.

Personally, I don't pay much attention to him. For some reason, I don't feel the need to wish him the worst.

More or less. Conversion to Islam almost always indicates espousal of some sort of anti-American, anti-Western, or anti-white ideology. I doubt even one percent of converts to Islam do not subscribe to a worldview characterized by one or more of the aforementioned attributes.

Kaepernick converted to Islam two months ago.

According to the 2nd link he and his girlfriend are planning an Islamic wedding. She is a muslim according to some websites.
Who cares what he does? Why are you worried about it?

You felt enough to bump a thread from last year to post about him.

They vilify Kaepernick whilst continuing their worship of the serial harasser Bill O'Reilly.
