That's pretty cool of him. I'll give credit when credit is due.

You think I'm cool too? Or do I have to post it on social media when I make a drop at Goodwill?

Damn that's a shitload to take away from a twitpic.

Why take the pic???
Why post the pic on social media??
Why not donate anonymously??

This is 100% a "look at me" situation... sorry you can't see that

He is doing something good.. And some people are benefiting from it, but let's be honest. His first priority isn't helping people, its staying in the news and trying to clean up his image in hopes to gain interest in an NFL team (but let's be honest, the reason he isn't on a team has nothing to do with him kneeling during the national anthem last year. Teams will overlook that if he was really that good. He is not a great pocket passer. His style worked under Jim Harbaugh, but at this point there really isn't a team who can use him).

Also, he put himself in that situation. He wanted out of SF when Chip Kelly was hired as their HC. Personally, I think that him kneeling during the national anthem had nothing to do with him "standing up for some cause". He started doing it the 3rd preseason game of the year. I really think he was trying to get cut and if he did something that would ruffle some feathers, he could get cut and can justify it by saying "they didn't cut me because I lacked ability".

With all that said, in summary:

- Him kneeling during the national anthem had nothing to do with what he said it did. If it did, he would have been doing it before he did. That's why its not even worth getting worked up over.

- He thought he would be able to go somewhere else and him trying to get out of his contract blew up in his face.

- Don't make him out to be a Warrick Dunn or other players who do a lot of good without wanting the attention until he doesn't have a self interest of doing so.

The pic was taken and posted by the group doing to suit give-away. You take issue when charitable organizations publicize the fact that certain celebrities are involved in their work? Sorry you're so ate up with hating a dude you've never met.

The dude is fading from the limelight and needs to stay relevant... that's all it is

He's still the same POS he was before

And you think clothing can do all that???

Like i said, how about find those people jobs, a home, counseling... a suit doesn't help any of those people with any of that... he's using those people situation for his own good

---

Jesus, man.

Publicity stunt

Gotta stay relevant


Now, if he helped those people secure homes, jobs, and counseling, i'd think different... but handing out suits one time doesn't mean shite in the grand scheme of things

This is all about him, and not those people

Since he began his social justice crusade last year, Kaepernick has donated an estimated $500,000 to assorted charities and community groups. On the free-agent quarterback’s website, kaepernick7.com, there is a running log of the donations he’s made.

We'll just consider all the good he's done and hundreds of thousands of dollars he's donated to different causes "collateral damage". Is that OK with you, snowflake?
