What about all the other people that have protested? Or is it just him donating? You would think it would be lots more from the NFL, especially since they are still employed.
Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Long have also been active outside of just kneeling. I don't know what other players have done, but I assume some knelt as a show of support for the guys who do.

The ones doing anything of note are few and far between. The nfl tried to start a PR blitz to keep up with the positive actions of their players for charity and it died on the vine.

Why don’t you educate us
Please tell us why we should support a false narrative that blames law enforcement for the problems in the black community. And just for shits and giggles why don’t you explain it in the context of a city like Baltimore with a black mayor, black police chief, black DA, massive black police force presence, etc.
I’ll have my popcorn ready

I’m no fan of Kap or what he’s doing, but I see couple things wrong with your post. First, in most of those instances (Tebow aside) the NFL reacted in a preventative manner by not allowing players to wear certain items. They shut it down beforehand or levied fines immediately after. The Kap kneeling is a completely different animal. It was several games before anyone even noticed he was doing it and by then it was too late for the NFL to step in and prevent him from continuing to knee. The media narrative that he was kneeling to protest police brutality had been set and with the entire Black Lives Matter craziness going on, there was no way the NFL was going to step in and fine him or prevent him from doing it like they would a uniform violation.

That is such a weak argument.
They may be protesting police brutality. But they are doing it by disrespecting the National Anthem and the presentation of the Flag. -- which it turn disrespects those that have fought and died for what that flag represents.
If it is really about police brutality, they should figure out a different way to protest. --- problem solved.
If the NFL is going to allow political demonstrations by their employees at work, will they allow anti-abortion demonstrations? How about gay marriage?

Do you have a problem with that?

No. Don't be a nimrod.
If the NFL is going to allow protesting, people should be able to protest how the see fit.
Especially if it is really a 1st Amendment issue like people are claiming.

I seem to remember Reggie Bush being fined for wearing the wrong colored shoes. Why didn’t you mention this? It seems to fit in with the rest, uniform violations.

And the teams are allowed to handle it however they want to, as well
Why is this concept so hard for you to grasp?

It hurt not watching NFL games for a couple months. I stopped immediately when the kneeling began. I now have no regrets. I'll not watch again.

Kaepernick has donated $1 million to various social justice charities over the last year. Pretty good for an unemployed guy.
I donate to lot's of causes and charities and I am not OT rich like CK.
It doesn't take a lot of effort.
Again, the question is What is he and the other blowhard's doing during the offseason besides donating to pole dancer's?

Whether they mean to disrespect the country/flag/military is irrelevant. The fact that they are is the point. There are many other ways to protest and be respectful, and this ain't one of them.

3. Colin Kapernick is not a good QB. Otherwise he'd still have a job. Nobody is sacrificing wins for some bullshite cause.
I would add he is worth $20M. If this is sacrificing then sign me up.

He isn't disrespecting the military.
It's much more disrespectful to shame and hate him for protesting. Most of the other veterans and current military I know agree with that. Not all, but most.

No they aren't. They are only allowing the protesting the flag.

The teams are looking for the commissioner to enforce the policies that are already in place.

He isn't disrespecting the military.
If one shows disrespect during the national anthem, he is disrespecting our national anthem. Now he can claim a different intention, but it does not change the actual fact of his action.
