Couldn't care less what a person does during the national anthem. I'm sure if you looked around the crowd there are those seated or jostling to get the last peanut out of the bag, etc. Who cares? How does that affect you? I see that it affects many service personnel and causes upset to them. It should evoke the opposite...they believe they were fighting for our freedom and that freedom doesn't just include what their definition of it is. They fought for the very right he expressed and are upset about it? Illogical.

The world gets way too caught up in things that don't matter... like FOOTBALL, period. A game played by bratty millionaires you don't know and never will literally affects lives of millions of people. Makes no sense. I recall working for a national radio network during 9/11... only then did all of us sports guys realize how inconsequential our sports jobs and sports in general were. "Meaningless" as Gary Thorne said back then. That they are regardless of 9/11 or not. I sometimes wonder why I care about sports at all as I age. The older I get the more I see the ridiculousness of my desire to care about a game I watch on TV. Hopefully, I'll grow out of this immature addiction but I haven't quite yet.

I do agree with Dakota...the white privilege I've enjoyed is ludicrous. Can't imagine what it would be like without it. I guess we kinda saw a little when whitey had to stomach a non white President for the first time. I sure in the heck didn't and don't support him now but that was a bitter pill for many whiteys to swallow.

Today they were discussing on sports radio that last month Kaepernivk wore socks at practice with cartoon pigs with police hats on.
To me, that says where his head and heart are. You disrespect law enforcement people like that? Who will he call if he needs help, a crack head? No, the police.
99.9% of police are good decent people doing their best to serve and protect us, while also trying to go home to their families alive every night.
How many of these police shootings were actually unessasary? How many were caused by the people that ended up shot, by their own actions? I guarantee most were not just "innocent victims".

Kind of reminds me of the Rodney King beating several years ago. They showed the police beating him with night sticks. Most ignored was that King lead them on a high speed chase (which could have hurt or killed innocent people) when the pursuit finally ended, King got out of his car and refused to do what the cops told him to do. He was s HUGE man, and was so high that he could have easily hurt or killed any of the cops. They tazed him several times, which would drop any normal human, but had no effect on the high King. What were they supposed to do? To me, they showed great restraint to not shoot him.
He fought back the whole time. Yet the cops were vilified. And the REAL criminal got paid a ton of money for putting who knows how many people on the streets and the police person's lives in danger.
Then all the thugs that "protested" and rioted, and hurt and damn near killed innocent people.
Yeah.....what a great guy Kaepernick is. Disrespect the country that gives him HIS freedom.
He has the right. And I have the right to call him out for being a jerk.
