Warning! Rant Ahead

Kaepernick decided to protest the national anthem in a preseason game because he is a useful idiot.

Kaepernick National Anthem Disrespect 

Quote from the article that shows the simple train of thought that goes through this man-child's head:
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
Further, the article goes on to say that he was "taking a stand for civil rights."

Someone should teach Kaepernick and the author of the article to spend 5 seconds with a basic google search to get a balanced view of the issue. Someone should also teach both of them the difference between the mean and a high-sigma outlier on the bell curve.

Here is a fact for all of the clueless anti-cop crowd out there. There will be or is a shortage of police in this country:
DC Police Shortage, WTOP, July 2016 

Police Shortage CA, USA Today, Sep 2015 

My opinion is that the anti-cop nonsense is at least partially responsible for this shortage. The funny (actually not funny at all but really sad) thing is that additional civilian deaths may be a consequence of the lack of law enforcement in certain areas. I wonder if Kaepernick will think about those lives.

Anyhow, the Country is not oppressing anyone. We have over 330 million people in this Country and to condemn or disgrace the whole because of a fractional percentage of turds is cowardly bullshit. If he doesn't like our Country, he has the same freedom to leave it as nearly every single other person.

This is a good read.
