“They said they would not sign him specifically due to him kneeling during the anthem, nothing else.” —> Well obviously!! The whole point is that its easy to make a posture like that when the QB is terrible and un-signable anyways. If he was GOOD they wouldn’t be saying that. How do you not understand that????

One book advance, not sales, just a book advance, could net Colin multiple millions. I’m supposed to be impressed he donated chump change?

You seem to be someone that doesn’t follow football. CK was terrible for years and this event just happened to coincide with him being benched.

He said ‘Castro is OUR Hitler’. OUR as in Cuba’s, a small island nation. There was no claim of ‘equivalent to scale.’

Thank you

It sure as hell does benefit him. It doesn’t benefit him in the way that it’s going to make him a great NFL QB, but look at all the attention he’s gotten from it.

He clearly has no kind of plan, but, at this point, he’s decided that this whole “awareness” he’s started is now his personal baby that benefits CK as much as anyone else, and he’s going to defend it regardless of how ill thought out or hypocritical some of his actions may be.

Funny how the white liberals who never lived under a ruthless killer/dictator decided that they get to be the arbiters of the Hitler comparisons.

...she takes whatever position is popular at the moment with the greater American public.

You’re welcome to lay the blame at my feet. I’ll weather the storm for you if that’s what you and America would like me to do. But the blame belongs with the democratic party not rising to the occasion to swiftly spare us from Trump.

This election basically boiled down to this for me. One nominee has zero respect for the first amendment the other has zero respect for the second.

We’re all adults here, capable of making our own decisions. If a guy wants to make millions playing football and risk the possibility of long term effects, his call. I won’t shame myself for watching football because it’s a fun sport to watch. Do I enjoy watching guys tear an ACL or get a concussion? Obviously not,…

Sorry, head injury. Not really the point of the comment, but I appreciate the correction.

Second thought, also no snark - he’s secretly gay and can’t come to terms with coming out, which would explain the first thought.

I’m a little confused by all these hot takes (or whatever we want to call it) about everyone quitting football over this video. Is football the only sport where guys have knee injuries? Did everyone stop watching basketball when Paul George broke his leg? Did everyone stop watching NASCAR when Earnhardt died? Did we…

About that. Is there any chance Trump’s getting impeached if these women come forward and actually sue him for sexual assault?

He also addressed their economic anxiety. He addressed how, culturally, white rural (especially) men are often marginalized.

Bingo. Clinton lost not because of social issues, but because she ignored economic ones. So Hamilton’s call to arms while not mentioning economic issues illustrates completely how out of touch the democrats are and why they just lost to a halfwit con man.

When only one side engages people, that side can tell whatever story they want.

It is a lot easier to determine the point of the switch. Working class rust belt whites have seen their communities getting worse while the rest of the country bounced back.
