It's not even about the anthem or flag for me....Colon couldn't draw flies for an audience if he were to give his worthless opinion on his own time, so he expresses himself in the most ostentatious ways on the time of his employers, then acts as though he has a right to be heard through their media presence.It's not about approval, it's about getting people to LISTEN. The object is to get your message across, not HOW you get your message across, and that's what happened to Kapernick, it became about the method and not the message.
Sorry, but I refuse to listen to people who try to fuck with the anthem and the flag. That is MY choice.
First, those were just smoke canisters, 2nd, during that protest police claimed objects were being thrown at them.
Peaceful?
In a way, he's stealing from his employers.
For me it was doing it during the anthem. People doing any form of protest during that make me not want to listen to them.
Don't. Millions of other are.
And millions agree with me. If he truly cared about the message instead of his own ego he would have adjusted the method of delivery.
A probably not worn the cop/pig socks.
Sorry, sometimes doing the right thing takes time. You can bet this season there are going to be many kneeling and the NFL is going to be fully supportive.
The right thing is subjective. Sorry, but politicizing the anthem is wrong. This will just move the fight over to the stands, people will get into altercations over support and opposition to it.
You see it as politicizing. That's sad.
It's reality.
Then it's sad that there is a segment of politics not interested in a just justice system.
Define a "just justice system". What you are saying is useless buzz phrasing.
