Personally, I think he is a massive hypocrite (he didn't vote) and his stance on Castro is a fricking joke.
That being said, he had courage because it was obvious from the get go he was going to be shite on, a large chunk of it deservedly so.

Or it was a pr move to make him uncuttable by playing the BLM card.

I'm not saying he deserved an award but you literally can't make any rational argument that what he did was not courageous.
All he did was draw attention to himself and spout shitty opinions.
I associate the word courageous with guys like Steve Gleason. Or someone like Warrick Dunn who has done far more to actually help the community he advocates for on a daily basis.
I can literally argue all day why Kaepernick isn't even remotely close to what I'd call courageous.

The usage of the word courageous is a lot like the usage of the word reward to me. It doesn't necessarily have positive connotations even though it's assumed to, it just basically means you're not to be deterred.

So courageous. So oppressed. So intellectual.

Cool. But I'm sure he'd rather be winning awards for quarterbacking.

Not voting is his hypocritical stance. I just said his views on Castro are idiotic.
I'm sorry, you cannot bitch about how shitty America is and not even vote on local issues.

This country is fricked. Too many ignorant and hateful pieces of shite support that ignorant piece of shite.

quote:Yep, tons of negative attention. If you don't think it takes courage(again, whether you agree with his stance or not is irrelevant) to do that knowing the backlash he'd get, then you're clearly too biased to really have a rational discussion on this specific subject.
All he did was draw attention to himself

Again, you have to separate whether you agree with his act/premise, because whether you do or not is irrelevant.
I think he's a moron for kneeling and he's gone off the deep end with his thoughts in general, as evidenced by his Twitter. But that doesn't change the idea that it obviously took courage for him to do what he did knowing the response that would come as a result.

shel is correct.
Putting yourself out there and acting a plumb fool when no one else is actually does take some cojones when you stop and think about it.
Kaep knew he'd get lambasted. He anticipated it and welcomed it. He's also an idiot, as evidenced by his rationalization and his stances regarding related issues. But it did take courage.
It also took courage for the guys in the Jackass movies to do their stunts. Courage is not synonymous with nobility
