Seeing as how I can't turn on the news without hearing about this issue... I disagree.





And you blame that on the people that disagree and not on Kaep and Co? The sidewalk in your name makes perfect sense.

Apparently a lot of people are super offended that someone made a statement that hurt their feelings.



But I thought only liberal SJWs and black people are triggered over Things that don't affect them? That's what the Poliboard told me, anyway

I blame it on people who report this as news and the perpetually offended who feed it.

Which side of this is the one getting all the coverage? I'm fairly certain it's Kaep's. It is amazing how some of yall are saying the people that don't agree with Kaep are the problem here.

well yeah

if the people that disagreed were not going on social media crusades with burning his jersey and constantly posting about it, the media would not give it so much attention

This is where you, Salmon, shel, Jbeam etc etc are taking a huge logical leap.

There is a clear discernible difference to getting angry at someones opinion and speaking out against that opinion, and getting offended by someones opinion and saying they now owe you something or should be legally pursued for offending you.

I don't think you get how this works. No one would be offended if ESPN allowed this to go away.

Then why won't ESPN allow a dissenting opinion to be presented?

And if they didn't have to see and hear 24/7 coverage about what some backup QB thinks is right, none of that would be happening. You're made at the effect, and not the cause.

because ESPN is all in on the BLM stuff

but if people were not outraged over this, ESPN would not be covering it as much

if there were no controversy this would be a non story

I think yall are throwing the word "outrage" to much. I think MOST people just think they are dumbasses that they no longer care for as people. Which, I dont think classifies as outrage

I don't agree with it, but it's his right to do so. Fortunately we live jn a country where free speech is supposed to be protected.

I'm sure there were plenty of morons yelling at Reid and Kap during the playing of the national anthem.

The irony is hilarious.

Just like our free speech to disagree with him is. No one has ever said he doesn't have the right to do what he did.
