LMAO. I enjoy a little ignorance and stupidity here and there. Thank you for your contribution.

OK, that is your right to believe that. He was very respectful of questions from the media afterwards and answered them, which is more than I can say for some athletes. Unlike Cam Newton, who walked away from the media after the Super Bowl before they could ask him questions. I am more offended by role model athletes/celebrities that are caught with illegal drugs, have DUI's, violate rules against illegal steroids, or violently beat their spouses, girlfriends or others.

Next would be rookies like Joey Bosa who do long hold outs on a generous offer when they have not played a single down in the NFL yet. He really got lucky at the 11th hour.

Agree to disagree, but respect your views. At least you did not call him names or suggest he leave the country.

I find the people who are criticizing CK for his behavior unfit for their kids laughable.

Where were they when Dallas Cowboys regularly hires wife beaters, mother beaters, and cocaine users on their team?

Who is a worse role model, Kaepernick or these Cowboys players?

- Greg Hardy (beat his girlfriend)
- Dez Bryant (beat his mom)
- Ezekiel Elliott (beat his girlfriend)

Seriously, CK is worse than these people?

Kap is worse...

lol jk, but honestly they are all bad, but on different levels. Three are criminals and one is a spoiled privileged brat whining about other's people's privilege.

[loveautumn]

Wonder if CK is aware there is a US flag emblem on his helmet?

The US flag =/= the National Anthem. Another thing people seem to have forgotten is that the National Anthem isn't solely a military thing. Oh, and Francis Scott Key was a racist and slave owner. People seem to be pretty confused overall

I feel special you created a fake handle to give a shout out to me *making me blush*

If Black lives really matter to you, then we should follow leaders like Mayor Giuliani, who supported police and cracked down on crime. The murder rate dropped more than half and the vast majority of those murders were in poor Black neighborhoods. That is how you show Black lives matter. Instead, we have all these politically correct people mislead by Liberal leaders. When you actually look at the statistics, you can't argue that police are the main reason why Black people are being murdered in their neighborhoods. The majority of those murders are by other people in their community. If we want to save Black lives, then we need to increase police presence to protect the innocent and get rid of the murderers in their communities. It amazes me that a Black child can get murdered walking home, yet guilty Liberals don't care... instead they march and riot when a criminal attacks a police officer and is killed in the exchange. Granted there have been some deaths that were completely not justified in any way, but they make up 0.1% of the murders of Black people.

In summary, if you actually want to save Black lives, then you need to crack down on the thugs in the local communities, not attack police officers who are trying bring justice to these criminals. Whenever the elephant in the room is brought up, a Liberal will automatically divert the conservation to, "OH YOU ARE A RACIST!" Yeah, look how well it's working, can't face facts, so let's divert the focus.
