Colin Kapernick stated back in August that""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 told NFL Media."
So he has NO RESPECT or pride in the flag, which means he has no respect for the country that gave him plenty of opportunities, and he flubbed it with football. His adopted parents are white, yet he rails against who? White people? Guess he forgot about Affirmative Action. Guess he forgot that we are a country of law and [supposedly] order and all juries are made of their peers. I don't see him protesting against black-on-black murders. He did not protest Baltimore wherein there were 3 blacks police officers and 3 white police officers on trial for murder...and which the juries acquitted. No? But he did protest In reality, he protests only when white police officers are involved. That's prejudice. Adrenalin is rough to keep in check when confronted by threats and/or assaults and some react too quickly, but I guess that's because they don't want to end up 6 feet under.
You all may not agree with me, but IMHO, this is the way many folks see it. Notice that he doesn't blame himself for being a mediocre player and can't be picked up by the good team, just like everyone else who wants to place blame on everyone but themselves for their own shortcomings. Live and learn, Colin. Maybe some day you'll grow up.
