In America we have freedoms. If he doesn't wanna stand it doesn't impact me at all. It's a song. He chooses to sit down when it plays. Overall it's not a big deal. I don't agree with his views so frick him, but I don't get bothered by it.


This. The beauty of our country is that he has every right to do or not do whatever the hell he wants during the anthem. Blind nationalism is gross.

There's a chance Kaepernick thought he was making some important point. I can't blame him for that even if I feel he's misguided.

he won't support a country that oppresses African Americans


This is coming from a man who lives in a country where, if you're poor, the government will give you a house, money for food, a car, a cellphone, spending money, and a free education. Further, the government itself ensures that black people are hired at every single company it controls, educated at every university, and you cannot be fired for the color of your skin, and as a black person you can score lower on standardized tests and be given more opportunities than those who score higher simply because of the color of your skin.

Explain to me what more you want, Colin.

This is a statement from a man born to a poor Crack head who got knocked up by a random black dude that ran away and he was adopted, and now, he is in a profession that is not only one of the most elite and profitable professions, but is also 68% African American.

What a frick head. What's he doing to make it better? Does he donate large chunks of his time and money to his local communities? No? frick him then.

Oppressed? Go look at real oppression some day you entitled ignorant frick.

Dude, he, in effect, said "frick the United States of America" Instead of trying to help, he just said I despise this country and all the infidels that inhabit it and keeping my people oppressed. When we all know thats not the truth. He's not misguided, he's a POS.

Which is why those of us who un-apologetically love the United States of America practice a higher form of highly-informed pride and gratitude that is based on being educated in the history of Western Civilization and the world. It comes from understanding what is great about our traditions, principles, ideals and our unique accomplishments in building this free and aspirational society that millions of people have given their life to protect, and hundreds of millions more have left their own homes to come to find freedom and opportunity. God bless the United States of America.

Not actually being black is what makes him less black.

He is an enemy of the US as far as I am concerned. His refusal to stand nullified the sacrifice of every American who has died for his 1/2 black arse' freedoms. CK sucks and I will be anti CK for the rest of his career....what a complete race baiting POS

He's an athlete who's been coddled his whole life and has no clue what is like for the average white or black person. Hes trying to earn cultural brownie points from idiots.

You forgot progressive ignorance, ingratitude, moral idiocy and hubris. That showed up around the same time you did.
