CDZ Who doesn't support Nike and Colin Kaepernick?

[JoeB131]

True but alas, Colin is too stupid to realize he is being used as a tool by the Democrat plantation.

Seems to me that he's taking a stand on something he believes in. Most of us probably wouldn't go that far to give up millions to stand for something we believe in.

Here's a crazy idea... instead of being so upset about Colin, let's actually clean up our police departments and get rid of the trigger happy cowboys.

your question really is:
....who supports jackass criminals that are a threat or the police/law/order/common sense
I do not support jackass criminals
sorry, I was just raised that way

Just wondering on what political ideology people who don't support Kaepernick stand?

My Republican friends have been ranting about how evil Stalin was for decades, talking about how states are greater than the federal government and "dissing" the Islamic group think countries. So they can't possibly care if a man stands for the National Anthem. After all like we are reminded the boys in the Marines die for our right to free speech....well, recorded free speech thanks to the Patriot Act, but free speech! Go small government!

My Democrat Friends are the followers of Steven and Elyse Keaton from family ties right? They definitely don't care about even burning flags.

So who does care if he sits during an Anthem? Is he protesting in favor of some religion that abuses children or something?

he is protesting FOR criminals--I guess you love criminals also
he is protesting the ''murder'' [ hahahahahahahah ] of blacks

in 2016, the police fatally shot 233 blacks, the vast majority armed and dangerous, according to the Washington Post. The paper categorized only 16 black male victims of police shootings as “unarmed.” That classification masks assaults against officers and violent resistance to arrest.

Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.

blacks commit crime/murder/etc at much, much higher rates
the cops are doing a good job at NOT shooting blacks

According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, in the year 2008 black youths, who make up 16% of the youth population, accounted for 52% of juvenile violent crime arrests, including 58.5% of youth arrests for homicide and 67% for robbery. Black youths were overrepresented in all offense categories except DUI, liquor laws and drunkenness.[56]

Cool. There is a chance something will go wrong anytime you have a tense interaction with someone with a gun.

What do you think of Nike and the anti Nike Protest? Who doesn't like Nike siding with an anti big government power fellow?

You do know the difference between free speech and taking a piss on the American flag right? Amendments are not absolute.


.

Mind you, I'm for restrictions on folks protesting funerals and all.

That "you must protect our symbols and idols" talk sounds pretty Stalin like. Something you'd hear in an Islamic country.

Ita the right to "piss on the flag" or run my mouth about B.Clinton's personal life we idealize not the flag of Obamacare.

It is amusing how liberals use our freedom against us, next thing you know we will be a full blown socialist country and can't buy big gulps with straws in them

I don't.....he isn't taking a stand on anything based on courage. If he wanted to really be brave, he would call out young black males murdering other young black males....the real cause of crime and poverty in democrat controlled cities.

again, if Black Males are caught shooting other black males, they are arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned. That assumes the CPD doesn't take the path of least resistance and charge the first guy they can beat a confession out of and actually conducts an investigation.

Meanwhile, we are finally getting around to prosecuting Jason van Dyke, who was caught red-handed shooting a black teen 16 times, most of them when he was lying on the ground. It's on video tape, no doubt about what he did.

And unlike Wilson or Loehman or so many others, at least they are going to pretend to have a prosecution this time. so I guess that's progress.

Van Dyke may be found not guilty, considering that the black male was a threat with a knife and squared up on him before he shot. And as was pointed out by the police union rep, shooting 16 times in low light doesn't mean that you know you hit the guy.....and with adrenaline you easily empty your pistol...... you know so little about so little, yet you continue to post.

 

[Oddball]

Don't fault him for his churlish little "protests"....Free country and all that...He did, however, perform them in a manner that harms his alleged cause, by insulting a significant portion of the NFL's audience.

He didn't "sacrifice everything" because of it....He's a mediocre talent, whom NFL defenses found ways to stop....He also walked away from the final year of his 49ers contract -something under his control- for whatever reason...Rather than being blackballed, it's more likely that the other NFL owners don't want a flake with middling skills, whose main attribute is drawing attention to himself in ways that degrade the overall product that the NFL is selling.

If a jury buys that, we are going to have riots,.

I've watched the tape. He wasn't "swinging the knife". He was walking away from officers with his arms down and his back turned. The knife didn't even have the blade out when it was recovered.

He MURDERED that kid. When he's on the ground, you stop pumping bullets into him.

If it was a good shoot, then Van Dyke (and frankly, what a self-pitying whiner he is) wouldn't have LIED about it in his report. His fellow cops wouldn't have run around to every other building trying to delete any video tapes.

Final point... if he was such a threat, why didn't any of the other cops shoot him? They didn't even have their guns out. But Jason van Shooty pops out of the car and plugs him 16 times?

Ey, every time you have an angry confrontation with someone things may go wrong. Throw in guns or swords or whatever and they might go catastrophically wrong.

If that cop walks up on your car, you spook him with your cool literal pistol grip gear shifter and he shoots you, is the cop wrong?

Doesn't much matter, you were the idiot with the pistol grip shifter who could not foresee the increased percentages of death it gave you. Regardless though, I couldn't convict the cop.

Do you have (hopefully short) video of the case you all are referring to? Sometimes cops make bad mistakes, sometimes cops have bad days. At some point it becomes criminally bad and I'm not here to defend bad ppl.

Am I using your freedom against you?

Yes though, if you have freedom of speech and are created equal to everyone else, that guy across the street has the same rights.

There are other countries where he won't have them rights. Those are places with super shiites snowflakes or sunni snow flakes who are more equal than the jews down the hill or whatever.

It kinda sucks, I always think I drive better than my neighbors, make better decisions, am smarter, etc but I remind myself we are all created equal and largely just do different things 5% better than eachother.

He didn't murder that kid.....that kid turned to face him, in the dark. You just hate cops.

Support his initiative in content and of course his right to his opinion.


However,
You can’t do that at work.

There's no law to that effect. What you do at work is between you and your employer.

I didn’t mean to imply there was a law. You can do whatever your employer will allow. The question is whether or not you “should” do it. If the boss gives you time off during the busiest time of the year great…should you have asked for that time off if there was no pressing need for you to take it? Where does it leave your co-workers/team mates? What type of teammate are you being? In the specific case of CK, what does it day when the recognized leader of the team—the QB—is “doin’ his own thang”?

I saw the Nike Spot. Very powerful and apolitical. loved it.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Here is my take on the Nike situation:

In selecting this very divisive figure, they are trying to appeal to thug culture, racists of color, angry people acting out, America haters, and self hating whites who try to gain self esteem through virtue signalling. These groups overlap to a great degree, of course, but they represent a considerable number here in the states.

One way to look at it is that Nike management are idiots who have no clue how many people they are pissing off. Now, I live where Nike all began, and they did not go from an idea in the 1970s to where they are today by being stupid. I think they know fully well that they are pissing off lots of people who will no longer purchase their product. They have factored that in to their calculus.

You see, the United States is not their only market. They are international, and for every American they alienate, how many anti-American Europeans do they gain? In this day of Donald Trump, that must be a lot, especially considered how Europeans are even farther down the road of white self hatred than we are. Kaep has an Islamic girlfriend who radicalized him, and with a billion and a half Muslims in the world, this is a very good thing for Nike, as well.

We live in a global economy and Nike is thinking globally, here. That is pretty much the long and the short of it as far as I'm concerned.

Personally, having recently found out it had been benched prior to his taking a knee, in favor of another quarterback, I suspect, it actually started as a diss to his team and the nfl, rather than what he proclaimed after he did it and was questioned about it. His prior history of never being involved with the sjw’s, and even his lack since, makes me think he got caught with his pants down. He had to come up with an explanation quickly, and rather than admit he was mad at the decision the team had made, he pointed it away from them and the nfl, hoping to reclaim some hope of being able to be unbenched eventually.

That’s my thoughts and I’m sticking to it.

He's not very bright and even with Jim Harbaugh trying to teach him, he could never learn to read a defense. One of the best predictors of quarterback success is their ability to check off from their primary receiver when covered, analyze the defense and switch to a secondary receiver. He couldn't do that. What made him successful to begin with was his running ability and once defenses figured out his tendencies in that regard, all the running ability in the world didn't mean squat when he was not an accurate passer and wasn't smart enough to read defenses.

As far as the sjws are concerned, he was radicalized by his Muslim girlfriend and there is much speculation that he has converted, himself.The anti-Americanism pretty much goes hand and hand with that one.
