the issue i have with him was that nearly his entire career he would just stay in the locker room during the anthem. but i guess he thought that staying in the locker room wasn't getting him enough attention. and if you really think he only did this because of his beliefs and didn't want the attention then you're f'n naive. he knew exactly what he was doing.

well no shite. and its my freedom to think that he's an America hating a-hole, but i guess he didn't hate America enough to keep cashing those checks

Well said Choctaw

and someone else hit the nail on the head when they said sarcastically "yeah...cause America is so much more oppressive than mekka"

Islam is way the frick more oppressive than anything in this world for him to say America is oppressive is just pure ignorant and hypocritical...

lets go mutilate some women
