The Nike ad, with Colin Kapernick's picture, says "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything." This is laughable. Sacrificing everything ? But Kapernick isn't doing that. That is something that US military men and women do. The ones who Kapernick disrespects, every time he kneels during the national anthem.
And sacrificing arms and legs lost in combat, is much more "sacrificing" than Kapernick's lost 2 years from NFL play, by teams who want to have nothing to do with him. This spoiled brat, loudmouth punk/fool has a net worth of millions of dollars. He doesn't need to play football, or do any job. He is set for life, and could easily live comfortably on his investments. Topping it all off, he doesn't even know what he's protesting about.
Police brutality ? The level of this, is near zero in all of US law enforcement, and no greater among blacks than anyone else. Kapernick is nothing but a gullible dupe of Obama/Sharpton/Jackson race fear-mongering, peddled to gin up votes for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
As for oppression which Kapernick claims (injustice & inequality), yes there is plenty of that. But the oppression is upon WHITES, not blacks. The inequality that gives racial preference in job hiring, job promotions, college admissions, college financial aid, business loans, etc, victimizes whites, not blacks.
Pretty amazing to see somebody among the group of beneficiaries of all this Affirmative Action inequality, going around crabbing, and claiming himself to be the victim. Maybe somebody needs to sit down with Colin, and explain a few things to him.
