He doesn’t want to play, and he hasn’t wanted to play for a while.
 
I just find it comical a bunch of people hate the guy for kneeling and "disrespecting the flag" but have zero issue with Trump kissing and humping same flag (maybe he thinks it's Ivanka in a flag bathing suit, who knows.)

I’m honestly curious why people don’t like Kap. I think struggled the last couple of years he played but he’s doing the most American thing you can do:using your right to freedom of speech. He asked veterans what was a way he could protest without being disrespectful and they told him a knee. So if you disagree with what he’s doing can you tell me why

Being objective, I can honestly see why people may not like him personally, what he stands for or even the actions that he has taken. That is a matter of ones perspective. But hating him or anyone else enough to wish them harm, injury or even death based on a perspective is ridiculous. That kind of hate should be reserved for someone who has directly or indirectly caused harm against the person themselves, a friend or family member. I can even understand the hate is for someone who has egregiously negatively affected peoples life in general. To those he hate him that much, help me understand your hate.

Does anyone remember the time he wore a tshirt supporting Fidel Castro after a game in Miami for his press conference? Everyone cool with that? Cuba of course is a f*cking bastion of liberty, human rights and free speech - but I wouldn't expect Kap to see the blatant hypocrisy and idiocy of his misplaced support for a dictator. Kap is a f*cking idiot, but other than that, he's really cool.

I agree I could never support Castro and for that matter I agree with everything kap stands for but I have no problem with what abs how he is doing what he is doing. If someone just completely disbelieves what kap is saying, however; I would point the kid who jumped by the nypd recently. Awful and happens to much

He’s not all that bright. Shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Would a t-shirt of Batista have sufficed?...as if Cuba was a beacon of human rights under His regime.

Exactly! Some have a very limited understanding of history.

That said, and as someone who supports a person’s rights to kneel during the anthem, burn a flag, etc... Colin Kaepernick is a straight clown and a classic post turtle! And many of the people who support him also have a limited understanding of history - and civics.

Often people looking to change mistakenly refer to other leaders who have “bucked the system” and forced change. It was a poor reference and one which obviously alienated some of the audience he needed to engage. But why the hate? He Isn’t for his opposition to be killed or seizing property.

So you think things under Batista in Cuba were worse than under Castro? As I recall, no Cubans fled to Miami under Batista. Apples and oranges my friend. Batista was crooked like a Boss Tweed or a Huey Long. Castro on the other hand was a despicable, murderous communist dictator who made the entire country miserable. Sixty years later, Cuba is still suffering and under oppression.

It was a very poor choice by Kap that certainly alienated me. That aside, he seems to be a lightning rod. I appreciate his fight for social justice, but I think he really needs to get a better understanding of basic human nature. It’s not smart to start a cause by immediately alienating a shytload of people. Also, don’t wear a pro-Castro shirt in Miami (or anywhere else).
 
Kap is an idiot and a pawn. EVERYONE needs to research the case that "inspired" him to start kneeling, then you'll see why he's an idiot. Police brutality is the last term you would use to describe that incident.

And for the person that wrote something about social justice. There is no such thing as social justice, there is only justice. The idea of social justice is the antithesis of individualism and kills the essence of American values.

Kap has the right to kneel, everyone has a right to call him an idiot for doing so, and nfl owners have a right to not employ him.
