He just wants attention. He should learn to throw a football again.

Seems to be working for him.

I haven't watched an NFL all season. The sight of mega-millionaires complaining about the system that made them wealthy is just to stupid to bear.

Thanks to Kaepernick there has been several attacks on police by blacks. The odd thing is these black cowards are attacking police who are black as well as whites.

If Kaepernick really wanted to curtail blacks dying by gun he should move to Chicago and show the world how it's done. He is a has-been that never was and is now attempting to find some recognition.

One thing Kaepernich has accomplished is a lot of fans who no longer watch the NFL. The thing about sports is that for most of us it is an escape from the day to day humdrum. It was something to look forward to and something to discuss afterwards. Sports were never intended to be a place for political or social protest. The way Kaepernich does it is anti-American and an insult to all the brave men and women who served our country. Kaepernich has done nothing but destroy a game many of us loved. I hope I see the replay of the day he leaves the game on a stretcher.

Maybe he should concentrate on figuring out why he was given up by his AA parents and had to be raised by a white couple.

Didn't know that a guy can't protest if he loses a football game.

Is your patriotism so weak that his peaceful protests bother you? Did those protests change your life one tiny bit?
Is your appreciation of football so weak as to be diminished by a players actions when the games has not even started?

For the life of me I cannot figure out why something so trivial has created so many ripples. It is as if people are just looking for something to be offended by.

So what?

The only reason you're making an issue of this is b/c of his refusal to stand and place his hand over his heart during the national anthem.

Otherwise, you'd have just chucked this up to him having a crappy performance.

Leave him alone and move on. He cares nothing for what you think of him.

He wasn't given up by his AA parents. His white mother put him up for adoption. For all you know, his father may not even know he exists.

And regardless, why denigrate anyone for putting him up for adoption? I thought that everybody finds it to be a great idea in lieu of abortion. Or is that all just hogwash too.

I'd love to know where he got the shirt. I'd like one for myself.

People need to stop being so shook.
