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.

Pretty much sums it up, we'll done

The only thing that inspired him was seeing Blaine Gabbert throwing NFL passes in front of him

Also Nessa must have some really good *****

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

Quick question. Has his kneeling stopped or slowed down the cop/minority killings? I can give you a hint. The answer isn't Yes.

I think Kap had a real issue he was supporting but wasn't smart enough to figure out the best way to get his message across. He used the wrong platform and was made fun of by a big portion of the nation. Now if he would have done his protesting in front of Police stations he might have been taken more seriously. Then the Dolt decides to wear a Castro shirt. I'm sorry but the guy should have been held back a few years in school because he's not very smart. It sucks because what he was trying to bring awareness to is a REAL ISSUE!!!

First of all, the name is Batista, not "Bautista". Secondly, my family and I lived under Batista and we left after Castro took power. Although Batista was corrupt, there was a large middle and an upper class in Cuba under his rule and generally all people enjoyed their freedoms. If you weren't a political opponent of Batista, you had no worries. After Castro took over, millions of Cubans started leaving the island and that continued for decades. Castro is why there are so many Cubans in the US. Castro destroyed the economy with communism and he made everyone equally destitute, miserable and oppressed (except for the high ranking communist party officials, of course, who got a little more than the others). Look up videos of life in Cuba prior to Castro and after. The difference is startling. I'll avoid using personal insults because they serve no purpose.

Agree not to make things political BUT Kapernick is the one who made it political. Good luck to the Jets as that's all everyone will talk about. Their season is down the tubes with distraction.

You might want to investigate this a little more because I can tell you it's still a huge problem and hasn't slowed down.

It was fake.

No NFL Team in their right mind would bring him in.

I see that there are some folks here that are absolutely void of factual Cuban history, and rather are speaking non-sense and regurgitating a totally distorted account about pre Castro history compared to the Castro regime years.
I wouldn't know where to start with this bull****... all I am recommending is to comment about subjects that you have some knowledge about.

It doesn’t matter which case inspired him. For every one legit case there are numerous illegitimate cases that often have often lead to an unnecessary death. Police brutality has been and still is a problem.

Here is a fact. Due to its location, Cuba became an important piece in the world puzzle as US and Russia had vital interest. The US needed a leader in that country it could control and Russia needed one it could control. US supported Batista and Russia supported Castro.

That girl is a puppetmaster and Kap is the ultimate puppet.

This only speaks to the fact police brutality wasn’t on Kap’s radar until it was brought to his attention. Once it was, he could see its legitimacy and the need to focus on it. I am pretty sure that we are not all knowing of every facet of life. We were made aware of something outrageous occurring somewhere and decided to do something about it. I personally was made aware of child trafficking, illegal child labor practices, genocides, and other social maladies going on in the world. When I chose to take action, did the fact that someone brought it to my attention make make actions or the causes less legitimate?

I am pretty sure Kap didn’t believe he would end police brutality. He was looking to shed light on police brutality and its devastating affects. His decision to kneel was a way to garner national attention to the cause. That is what an affective “social” protest does. He felt that kneeling would be the most effective way to shed light on his cause. The funny thing is, his kneeling flew under the radar for weeks before it became a national discussion.

Before January 1st 1959, the US had a friendly relationship with Cuba, regardless of who was president, and people from both countries would travel back and forth at will. Yes organized crime took advantage of the freedom, but so did the Cuban citizens who wanted to be entrepreneurs or just live normal lives. When Castro takes over then the world sees what he's all about, and the US and others lost assets and a lot of money when Castro took total control of everything on the island. Only then did Castro reach out to his Soviet likeminded buddies for support and a convenient Soviet outpost 90 miles from Florida was established... history knows where that went in the early 60's.

So in a nut shell you just reiterated what I just said in a bit more detail. Batista’s leadership was “acceptable” to us because our interest were met. Castro’s leadership was against our interest therefore it was “unacceptable”.
