It is about money. The politicization of entertainment (sports/NFL) has cost the NFL, and advertisers money. People turned it off because they didn't want to watch anti American controversy while trying to be entertained, and have a few hours of fun. NFL teams don't want Kaepernick stirring up more trouble, and controversy for them because they don't want to lose more money.

They are in business to earn a profit, and entertain people, not create political controversy, and alienate.

Lol, look how fast the "Blue Lives Matter" people turn on cops who do or say something they don't like.

I always knew they were full of ****.

They'll support cops through corruption and murdering unarmed people, but they draw the line in supporting an athlete in his legal and peaceful protest.


Lol

Race problems are everywhere in law enforcement and the military, I have seen it personally. Another reason that multiracial society doesnt work and we need to seperate. At some point white nationalist and black nationalist like farrakhan will work together. We just need a real right wing party, republicans are worthless

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

Raising the Black Power Fist and "taking a knee" against the American Flag & National Anthem is their right.
It's odd to see New York Law enforcement do it, but they certainly have the right to do so.

I suspect their Boss is in approval.

Yes, I think many of the NFL owners are racists. What other reason would there be for Colin not being employed?

Name one unsigned QB "as good or better" than Kaepernick.

Kaepernick was within seconds of being a Super Bowl MVP. He's a pretty good QB.

Yup.

Cops killing innocent people = Blue lives matter! Support the cops!

Cops supporting civil rights = What scum! Total garbage!
