Bobby Brown Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 46 minutes ago, League_Champion said: It's not about kneeling. His hatred and disrespect Kaepernick has stated many times his protest has nothing to do with the military. It was an Army green beret veteran, Nate Boyer, who suggested he kneel as a sign of respect to veterans. You're choosing to see interpret what Kaep does as hatred and disrespect to the military, because you want to. This is really no different that people who were offended by civil war statues; they choose to be offended; they see the statues as symbols as hate and disrespect. Both sides engage in political correctness; they are just oblivious to the fact they personally engage in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wore those at practices BEFORE he started kneeling. They could've called it out then, but it was used to add more fuel to a divisive fire. And they succeeded. Then shame on the 49ers for allowing it. Cops also protect him from crazy fans and keep people from running on the field and disrupting games. The games where poor Kaep made millions while being so oppressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaft Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 1 minute ago, LordOpie said: lol, don't compare the two guys. Ali was and is a great human being. also, Ali worked for himself. Kaep works for someone else and you cannot exercise 1A rights while at work unless your employer says it's okay, but then it must be okay for all employees. Seriously???!!! History has been kind to Ali's legacy, but he was far more critical and divisive than Kaep at his time. I'm going to leave this alone because this veers from the point of this forum. But it's really scary how people can kiss one pig, but not another because of the shade of the lipstick. Oh, and that "pig" I'm using has a different meaning before I get labeled something because someone chooses to see what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 So he was a doucher before he started kneeling too? I didn't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) My problem with these things is usually the hypocrisy. Like the soccer bitch that plays for our country and then wants to walk on our flag. Makes no sense.

It's an escape for me. Keep your (the really bad word)ing mouth shut and play. Even if I agree with you, just football. For the record, the NBA handled this well when this happened with them over 20 years ago. They shut it down when Chris Jackson was doing something similar.

The NBA handled it by suspending him for a game citing their policies. It didn't turn political at that stage, but unfortunately by time he turned 29 no team would sign him. Oh and he's considered one of the best shooters of all time. But it's believed his viewpoints got him blackballed. https://www.theundefeated.com/features/abdul-rauf-doesnt-regret-sitting-out-national-anthem/amp/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I thought there would be some discussion of the actual workout or how he might fit with some NFL teams. Should have known it would degrade into a bunch of stupid posts about the past. I hated all the attention it got, blame our horrible media for that. His kneeling is only disrespectful to some, and there are many reports of veterans supporting him. They know they fought to defend our freedoms, not to stifle them.

You should kneel at work to show your displeasure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNOWBOUND33 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Bottom line now is what has Kaep done positive in the last 3 years? Nothing I have heard of, fill me in. If he's not using all his money and resources to make the world a better place then he is just a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
