    The bottom line is if you piss off your customers then that is a bad thing. You can, arrogantly, try to race bait about this but that just shows what a fool you are. People who piss off the folks who ultimately pay their salaries tend not to do well and he just pissed off a lot of folks.

    I do not believe you for one second. You are just another rebel without a clue who lacks knowledge and depth. You angerly neg repped posts out of reflex and aren't bright enough to even finish reading them first. That is why you neg repped a post about not giving corporate handouts.

    Just another day in Gul's fantasy land. This smilie was made for you: :fantasyworld:

    You act like Gul has ever given a shit about facts or reality. All he has ever cared about is how he feels and facts do not enter the equation. It is what makes Gul... Well, Gul.

    God, this is so self centered.

    BAAAAAAAAW, THAT GUY IS AN INSULT TO DA MILITARY AND COPS GUISE, WAAAAAAH :sob:

    Sit the fuck down, you nancies. Especially the military. The vast majority doing the biggest dick waving over this signed up for school bennies and because there was no one hiring in the podunk ass backwards hick towns they came from, the same as I did. We've all tried to duck indoors before morning colors and anyone who says they never have is lying.

    So did Kaepernick convert to Islam? It's said he's going to have a Muslim wedding to his Muslim girlfriend.

    Can we stop acting like the fact that criminals people means we should just shut up about cops killing people?

    That's like saying "Americans need to do something about their own people driving drunk before they have any right to complain about Osama bin Laden having airplanes flown into their buildings."

    Dude has adoptive white parents (because his negro parents abandoned him) and a black (well mulatto, anyhow) President, and he's bitching about persecution. :jayzus:

    The 5% of people shot by Chicago cops aren't some random sampling of innocent people, they are overwhelmingly people who have a weapon drawn and are in the middle of killing innocent people, or momentarily in between killings.

    Sometimes the cops fuck up, and during the time where you might have a dozen unjustified police shootings, and the killing of three or four completely innocent people by cops, you'd have racked up several thousand blacks murdered by the thugs the cops are trying to stop.

    But they're just black people, and liberals don't care how many are slaughtered by black thugs, drug dealers, and gang bangers as long as they can indulge liberal white guilt at having to field cops - who sometimes have to shoot a black gang banger.

    His "bae" is #BLM.

    Even 25 year old multi-millionaire professional footballs players are still 25 year olds.

    For doing something that isn't illegal?

    The only way they can be punitive is within the framework of his contract, and there isn't a sitting down during the national anthem clause. They'd be idiots to arbitrarily come down on him hard.

    This is why you aren't in charge of anything. The liquor disrupts any rational focus you have left.

    I would be surprised if there wasn't a clause on reputation or needing to maintain good public relations, etc... Sports stars are entertainers and like any other celebrities spokesman thry become tainted when the public becomes upset at them. That is usually reflected some where in those giant contracts.

    Most contracts will have a clause relating to behaviour that brings an employer into disrepute, but generally that would be conduct unbecoming a professional. However, whether or not this is an action that amounts to such conduct so is highly debatable given that the man is excercising his constitutional rights. Furthermore, his employer has supported him in this regard and does not seem to consider it a breach of any contractual obligations. Contracts obviously do not come with clauses to the effect of "if the public gets into a hissy fit you're out".

    He's bitching about persecution of others, not himself, so the color of his parents' skin is pretty irrelevant. As for the color of the President's skin, the fact that you think that erases anything else that might happen in our society is pretty naïve.

    Exactly. Athlete contracts typically have morals clauses in them, but that definitely wouldn't apply to this situation.


    BTW, at least one other NFL player (from a different team, though I don't recall which one) said this week that he's going to join Kaepernick's protest.
