"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick said.

He's said a bunch of stuff. His complaints seem much more general than police shooting black men. Besides that, police shoot a lot of white men as well.

Black people shot at much higher rate but either way its not just the country's history. Its the current climate


Of course, but that speaks to a larger problem- poverty/crime in largely black neighborhoods.

I'm just saying that Kaeperick's protest seems to be much less focused than that. Black Lives Matter seems to have lost its focus as well. We should all be able to agree that the police shouldn't be executing citizens in the street. (Sadly, not everyone actually does.) But when you get into more vague and complex problems it confuses the cause.

Race baiting dog whistlers of CFMB, what's your take on a former army ranger who served with Pat Tillman taking this stance?

Dave Zirin of the Nation just told Spiegel and Goff that Kaepernick is risking his NFL career and a starting spot by protesting this way. I dunno--I think the NFL will let anyone play. I find this hard to accept.

It wouldn't surprise me if some teams didn't want a perceived distraction taking a roster spot.

I'd say his awful qb'ing is jeopardizing his starting spot and career more than anything he's protesting

Aaron Rodgers could come out of the closet while taking a dump on the American flag and most NFL teams are going to let him play quarterback.

Can we please stop the "Twitter mentions" in articles as if referencing three racist tweets is somehow representative of a large % of the population? Racists have been around forever. There stoopid thots are just easier to find now.

He may realize that and thinks the 49ers will be less likely to risk bad PR and release someone who is "taking a stand."

Rodney once literally faked one of my college roommates out of his shoes (well, one shoe) in a high school game, and he's a cool guy, but I just don't know what the hell he is talking about here.

Asshole wouldn't even claim WIU during his playing days. He always said Markham HS.

What Harrison is saying is that Kaepernick did not grow up in the black community and because of that he doesn't necessary relate with black people in the same way that people who grow up in that community do.

By that logic, someone with 2 black parents who grew up in a predominantly white suburb isn't black either.

That was my initial thought...it was a pre-emptive move to make it uncomfortable for the 49ers to cut him.
