That would be very disrespectful to those marines. Im not sure why you mentioned there skin pigment though.

ESPN has also taken to lumping all shootings together under “gun violence.” from their story on Kaepernick:

That is a perfect liberal response. Thank you.

This is all white people’s fault. Fucking racist ass white people turned chicongo into a violent hellhole.

I'm assuming the gun that was used in this tragedy was obtained legally and with all the correct paperwork. Of course not.

A black person killed in Chicago?! Shocking.

I appreciate that you think these things are mutually exclusive. That says a lot about you.

The good thing is they were in California and not Real America.

The issue is that any political statement by the NFL, or its spawn, means nothing

You know what’s funny? I was actually thinking “while I wish Kaepernick would stand for the national anthem and honor his country, I totally understand and respect his decision. If his stance helps, even in a small way, to shed some more light on issues facing minorities in this country, then it was worth it.”

Hes free to express himself in any way he wants. I cant wait until he does it in front of a group of marines on the field. Or maybe in front of families of fallen soldiers.

If he was a top-tier QB, this would mean something. As it is, nobody wants him around anyway, so this reads like his intent to play in Canada. Besides, you aren’t going to win over football fans by getting political. My aunt and uncle live just east of SF, are huge Niners fans, and my next stop is facebook to see what…

Maybe he should consider talking about the problem of black men - like his father - that don’t stick around and raise their kids.

Colin Kapernick should stick to *watches recent game film* uh actually politics and social media

Poor take. You can have issues with the government but still respect the country

Lol sweet straw man Timmy. Really knocked it out of the park there!

Well, that’s one way to try and make yourself relevant again.

This storm will pass. And probably be picked off and returned for a TD.

Good on the 49ers for their response I would have expected them to say, “He’s still on our team? We thought we traded him already.”

The good news is, after not moving the offense on three straight drives, Kaepernick can probably sit the entire season.
