I know Colin was given hell for his actions, but as an American, it is his right but the backlash is funny.

Now if there should be any outrage, it should be over these people not standing during the national anthem. Or does the OT not care about these guys?



LOL @ the guy at the bottom right in white hair, eyeing the camera. I think he stood up just in time before the picture got taken.

You should've read the thread on this yesterday to find out.

So unless it is a black football player, no one cares?

Did you guys see the black man sitting down too? Why no outrage? Let me guess, is it because the media didn't tell you to get pissed over it?

The people screaming in false outrage probably will not be avaliable to comment.

Same as the people bitching about "certain" athletes not placing their hand over their heart, or they weren't focused enough. When asked about Phelps, the shot putters, or other "certain" athletes they could not be reached for comment.

To answer all your questions in the most efficient manner, I don't care.

The whole Goddamn football player thing is overblown as shite. Let them stand if they want, let them sit if they want. I personally do not give one shite what Colin Kaepernick does during the national anthem or any other time if it is not related to football. I only know about him because he is a football player, and outside of football I don't care what he does or does not do. I don't value his opinion on social or political issues any more than I do a random person walking down the street.
How this has gotten to be such a huge national issue is beyond me.

No, it's because I'm not mad that Kaepernick did it either. Calm down.

ETA This (including you), is the problem. Instead of focusing on why he's doing his peaceful protest and doing something to help, you'd rather make a bigger issue of race and continue to try and divide the races.

Well this is how our media operates now. Makes sense when you have only 6 companies who control the media, of course they all will jump on it and shove it down our throats.

That is why no one is mad over these politicians sitting down, because the media hasn't told the sheep to get pissed over it. But your entire view of the situation is spot on!

I couldn't care less who sits, stands, farts, does cartwheels, or eats boogers during the national anthem.

My issue wth Kaepernick is the dumb fricking reasoning for not standing.

And I've yet to hear him offer up any solution to his public outrage that blacks are oppressed. What is he expecting to happen?

Look around at your next sporting event when they play the anthem.

Assholes will be wearing hats, talking with their a-hole friends, dicking around on their phone, and generally ignoring the anthem and flag.

Then they will go home and post about how outraged they are about Kaepernick.

Yeah but are they running their mouths on national media after the game? Are they talking shite and criticizing the way things are, while having millions in their own bank account and no action whatsoever taken to aid in the exact thing they criticize?

This is more outrageous because these people are paid to represent the citizens of this country.

In all fairness, there's not a lot he could do to fix a problem that doesn't exist
