Kaepernick and the National Anthem


Recommended Posts

Am I interrupting the racist circlejerk

I love Jim Brown. I followed his opinion on this matter closely last season. Amazing how CNN Etc wanted nothing to do with his opinion once he expressed it. They preferred talking points from racist groups such as BLM. Jim Brown said the protest was disrespectful. I guess he's a racist to some. He's a very smart man.

MNF season premiere presents a dilemma for the SJW

 

Do they use the big stage to take a knee on the anniversary of 9/11

make all the player hood that giant flag. It'd be amazing to see Kaepernick kneel while every other player on the field is holding the flag from side to side

Yes, a very partisan group of 3 judges made that decision. Unfortunately politics have infiltrated every inch of government. We have a lot of illegal immigrants registering to vote because it is so easy to do so with driver's licenses and taxpayer ID numbers being readily issued to illegal immigrants. No proof of citizenship is required/confirmed in many states. Everyone should support voter ID, better registration screening and integrity at the polls.

 

Took a few days off from this.

 

Do you have a citation for your comment of "a lot of illegal immigrants registering to vote"?

 

Brown is obviously a NAZI

 

Nah. Just a POS human being.

Ratings were "apparently" pitiful during the first half of the season, the Election was blamed.

 

The Cowboys resurgence definitely helped boost the ratings the second half, fans will tune in to watch Dallas (just like the Yankees) if they don't cheer for them.

The thread on the main board essentially about this closed. Someone equated Kaepernick to, wait for it......................Jackie Robinson.

 

The supposed parallel was the distraction that Shady mentioned around Kaep was similar to the distraction around Robinson. To me, Kaap's distraction isn't around race. There are other guys not standing for the anthem right now. I think Michael Bennett is one but I'm too lazy to look it up. I don't see any distractions being created there. If so, they are certainly on a massively smaller scale.

 

The Kaep distraction IMO comes from the cops as pigs socks, the Fidel Castro shirts and all that other garbage. When he talked about the stuff he sounded half informed. One can argue about a political distraction being fair game for not picking up a marginal talent. Also it may be that he wants $10M per. He resemblance to Jackie Robinson IMO is nil. His resemblance to Johnny Manziel is much more close. Certainly whether you agree or disagree with him, he is trying to do what he believes so I get there is a difference from loose cannon Johnny, but they are both on the outs due to being a distraction while simultaneously sucking.

So much for that argument.

 

@richarddeitsch

Per a Fox Sports exec (yes, Fox) who specializes in TV ratings, Kaepernick did not impact NFL ratings last year: http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2017/08/28/Media/Sports-Media.aspx

 

 

I've been following a crappy football team for years and still watch.

 

I'm not going to stop just because liberal sportswriters find it comforting to put the spotlight on how a bad quarterback worth millions hates the country where he earned his millions.

 

Mute and FF are your friend.

Ratings sucking were not because of Kaep's IMO and people saying they were are in denial. Ratings suck because the product sucks. You have to have a glamour boy QB who can't be touched and gets to call penalties. The NFL went the route of all superstar all the time and that means 25 teams aren't allowed to win. The non QB stars are mostly pinks like Beckham.
