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

Maybe so. I would have been in high school at the time of the "flag issue", so it's possible that I don't have all of the facts.

I don't disagree.

But he did go play in Turkey for several years after that. So I guess he was ok with leaving America.
Just curious, did he come back? If he did, then yes, he's being pretty hypocritical.

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...
