Lol what? She lost her career?? That analysis isn’t based on any sort of fact just feeling, just like Nikki’s double standard above (plenty praised her for her anaconda, plenty criticized Kardashian).

Seriously though, it’s not like this headline isn’t on the cover of ESPN.com right now.

Are you denying the Civil Rights Movement happened? Or just its impact?

Has he been donating money to charity? Uh, yes he has. All of the proceeds he’s gotten from jersey sales (which went through the roof in the wake of his actions) have been donated to charity. He’s making nothing off of this.

He has donated. And the info was a google away. Get informed before judging him...

If you don’t think people aren’t talking about these issues more because of Kaepernick’s protest, you aren’t paying attention.

It’s one thing to think “this won’t change anything but live your life, I guess” and another to belittle it by calling it “stupid and arrogant” and using those same adjectives to describe the person performing the protest. She may not be going as far as people who are calling Colin racist or accusing him of…

The fact that you ask this question says a lot. It wouldn’t take much to find out that Kap has been super active.

The question you’re asking is the same question MLK’s archetypal “white moderate” was asking in the 1960s. During that time it was difficult to see how the Civil Rights Movement transformed the course of history, but it created the political capital to enact real changes. In any case, that didn’t matter - activists…

But for many people the flag is a direct symbol of their loved ones who have died or served (or of their own service),

You’re confused about black people not wanting to be targeted by cops and an end to harassment and abuse by State officials? And $1 million is a lot of money even to someone like Kaepernick.

You mean besides the money he’s donating and the continued protest? I’m confused what your argument is. That because he hasn’t been protesting for years beforehand his argument is...wrong?

And the movement has made considerable gains on issues like mandating cameras, allowing public dissemination of police actions, and even forced more indictments, if not convictions of police who engage in illegal conduct.

Jesus Christ, people are being ridiculous here - yes, when mainstream, beloved public figures take principled stands, it increases the reach of a movement, and provokes more discussion. Kaepernick’s protest has been wildly successful.

He’s actually done a lot of charity work, you should do a bit more research

It’s bigotry because it’s a red herring used to distract from the substance of the protest. You say the protest has become style over substance but the protesters are the only ones using any substance. Kaepernick is donating money to support the cause, protesters are trying to spark change. That’s substance. The…

He’s promised to donate a million dollars to chartiy, and also will donate his share of jersey sales this season. His donation also inspired Jed York to donate a million of his own dollars.

I know that this argument has been had a million times, but

Yes. He’s donating $1 million.

Children who have followed his example in high schools have gotten death threats.

I like how bigots have moved to calling it narcissistic to protest against institutionalized racism.
