He just compared Krapperdick to an Army Ranger that died in action. Let that sink in for a moment

The full article says that he respects what Kaepernick has done. Why he is commenting at all is a mystery to me. Why start a thread about it is yet another.

Let's talk football, please !

I agree that this should go more in the political area of the forum, but since it's here.


I can respect Kapernick for kneeling for what he believes in. I still fully disagree with during the anthem is the proper time for it, as right after the anthem would be more appropriate. OR heck, after each quarter even.

Also, I fully believe Kapernick has deeper, more extreme views which he seemingly hinted at early on, but then clammed up, and just went with the less extreme social justice stance. When, I think the original sitting was a bit different stance than the current one being promoted.


As for Kapernick vs Pat Tillman, there is no comparison IMO, as Tillman willing left the NFL in his prime, knowing there was zero chance for him to do both at the same time, including leaving his family, and his wife to risk his life against bullets. While Kapernick was willing ruffled feathers, but he hoped and thought he could do that AND continue to play at the same exact time, risking being blackballed.

Those aren't the same thing to me. Though, I can respect both actions (even if I'm not sure I agree with the reasons behind said actions).

NFL better just get rid of the Anthem before games this upcoming year. No law says it has to be there and the man children in the NFL are obviously not mature enough to handle it so don't give it to them. Then they will have to deal with the difficulty of actually making their case through logic and discussion on their free time instead of a lazy symbolic gesture while on the clock.

What has Kapernick done since? I haven’t seen any big news of how he’s working so hard to make things better. He knelt, got the attention he wanted, then.....not much.
Plus, let’s not forget he walked away from a contract offer from the 49ers. So he CHOSE to give up his job.
So now the NFL should give “his highness” a job?
If he had enough talent, and someone wants to take a chance on him, so be it. I’m not against a team taking him on if they want too. But if no one wants to hire him, why should anyone be forced into it?
The NFL is driving it’s fans away by pandering to “political correctness”.
It’s going to end up costing them millions when all is said and done.
I have read in line how a huge amount of fans have had enough of this, and are giving up pro football.

And Goodell is just doing what he always does, try to use PR to cover stuff up.
He pandered to the President, that didn't make the problem go away, so now he's pandering to the other way.

So, other than raising massive amounts of awareness for the Black Lives Matter movement, he's also donated over a million dollars to dozens of charities.

Yes,beast. He HAD the talent.....for a couple seasons. Then he wasn’t so great. He wants a starters money. So as I said, IF someone wants to take the chance, and put up with the very possible headaches, so be it. It’s their money.
And earthquake, you are consistent. You can’t have a decent conversation without being a bully.
You are the one acting childish.
If someone disagrees with you, you name call.
Real adult. Real classy.
I disagree with you. I have given plenty of factual info. But you ignore it and name call.
Yup....real adult. You are typical of a certain group.
I’ll do the adult thing and ignore you.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
