    It's entirely possible that if Kaepernick were the unquestioned starter for his team that he wouldn't be staging his protest. I'm a born cynic and could totally see him doing this as a way to draw attention to himself because of his diminished status.

    Regardless of his motive, though, I still support his right to do it.

    And I still think he's a shitty quarterback who, like Johnny Manziel, should've stuck to baseball.

    Reminds of an article a while back I saw on FB slamming Michael Jordan for not speaking up for blacks at the height of his career. Given all the shit thrown at Kap right now, I hardly blame him for not saying anything about Rodney King (which I think another of his teammates had choice words about at the time).

    Anybody who can play baseball well is an idiot to pursue a career in the NFL. If somebody wants to criticize Kaepernick, that's a hell of a better reason than whether he stands up.

    Exactly.

    If he gets out now, maybe he can keep his sanity later.

    the guy needed lighter fluid to lightly singe (like, blue rare) a paper back.
    possibly the saddest fire related thing I've ever seen that didn't involve puppies.

    You can imagine what ever you want. A lot of people don't support that and will not spend money suppoeting that. Don't like it? Tough.

    Wrong. Alex Spanos will move to L. A.. because we natives do not give enough of a shit to subsidize some greek fuck from Fresno. He can either buy his own stadium or fuck off.

    A good half of the people who do give a shit about football really will skip games or boo because of the shit that ass wipe pulled. It is their right too.

    Dunce. Just a waste of space, you are. Go back to raging in an empty room because someone dared to call out your bull shit. "Oh, my! People disagreed with a "protest" and now the protester must face the consequences of his actions. It is so unfair! :cry:"

    That is how the real world works, my brain damaged friend, why not bark at the moon some more and see if that changes reality for you?

    Let's face it, the guy went out his way to get some publicity and stir up some controversy because otherwise he is just another failed player who got kicked out.

    Now he can, belatedly, claim to be some sort of political/racial martyr.

    So...is "whote", past tense of "white", as a verb?
    "He's done all his whiting, so he's all whote out now".

    I loved it as the clown Anita never effected a single sale with her self-aggrandizing delusions. The only ones harmed were the idiots who gave her money for spewing nonsense.

    That is a classic example of what I spoke about. She was able to milk those stupid people for hundreds of thousands of dollars and never got delivered what she said. Great for her. She is still a liar and a waste of space, much like Gul, but at least she was smart enough to milk the idiots during her ill deserved ten minutes of fame. Something Gul is not smart enough to do.

    Explain what, junior, because right now you are babbling nonsense. People who do not like something are free to not support it with their money. No one who did not like shady Anita gave her money so where do you imagine some profound contradiction occurred?

    I will wait while you fumble and hem and haw, as is usual.
