Ask the NAACP about Missouri and black folks..It's in the statistics..Sorry for the delay, I was researching the appropriate response to the sun being extinguished. Apparently it is required to throw a virgin into a volcano to restart the sun. Sadly we have no volcanos in Georgia, and a shortage of Virgins. So I guess the sun will just stay out.
Where was I? Oh yes. The Police protest to support Kap. Kap protested the National Anthem by refusing to stand. His argument was that the police were unfairly targeting minorities. The former and retired police who attended, including Frank Serpico, say that he is right.
The result was that the Football teams are not picking up Kap's contract, and refusing to hire him. I would argue that is their right. It is also the right of the people to object to it either way.
Now, you can argue it both ways. That the fans have a right to refuse to attend the games or tune in because of the political statement of a player. You can argue that the teams have a right to refuse to hire him because of the baggage. You would be right in both cases. But the reverse is also true. People can refuse to turn the games on because of the refusal to hire him, and can protest that he was unfairly targeted for telling the truth.
It's the first amendment. As for me, I don't watch Football anyway, so saying I'm not going to watch because of Kap, or his firing, is an empty gesture.
Sadly, you've missed the point.
But....I am magnanimous.....here's another opportunity:
..... he refused to stand for the national anthem in what he called a protest against oppression of people of color."
Dozens of current and former NYPD officers rallied in support of Colin Kaepernick
