A few things about this
1. Too many people have platforms to speak. Ultimate gift and curse. Too many talking heads. Too many commentaries. Too much.
2. All of a sudden blacks don't have to stop standing for the anthem. That's CK's way of protesting. Just cause you stand doesn't mean you're against him and his cause for protesting.
3. People love to be mad and upset over absolutely nothing. The masses are so stupid.
4. It's brave to stand alone. They always want to talk about so and so's toughness, taking this hit and that hit and staying in the game or a consecutive game streak played is the mark of someone's toughness. No standing up with no one to your left or right is the toughest thing in the world to do. This is the most impressive thing I've ever seen an athlete do in my lifetime.

Why can’t more people think like RG3?

It isn’t a hard concept. We are so judgmental and then overlook the actual message. Just because you wouldn’t do something, doesn’t make what someone else is doing wrong.

Here is what RG3 had to say about Kaepernick.

“My job isn’t to judge what another man feels about anything, so that’s where I stand with that,” Griffin said Tuesday before Browns practice.

“I think you definitely have to bring a spotlight to issues that you feel are pertinent to society,” Griffin said. “Colin Kaepernick’s stance on the American flag, I can’t judge him for that. My stance is that for me, I’m a military brat. My parents both served. My dad did 21 [years]. My mom did 13. So that represents something totally different for me. So I can’t judge him on what his stance is or what his beliefs are. I can only just go about it the way I know how to.”

“It’s not my place to judge what he wants to do or what he doesn’t want to do. So I’m focused on playing football, and if there’s any social issues that I feel like I need to address, then I’ll address them in my own way. But I’m not going to judge another man for addressing it how he wants to address it.”
Even if RG3 disagrees with Kaepernick he didn’t throw him under the bus, because the message is far more important than the act.

This whole situation has exposed so many of these former athletes and commentators true colors that from this point on i dont think i could stomach watching any sort of pre-game, post-game, or highlight show. Ive pretty much lost respect for all but a handful of people who cover sports for a living and dont feel comfortable supporting them or even listening to any crap that comes out of their mouth now.

In recent years i had already cut back on watching most NFL pre-game shows so it wont be much of a change to just cut them off completely.

So many people exposed themselves as closet racists and c00ns. black people once again taking an L. Instead of the actual issue that is being protested, we talking about soldiers.

Stood up for Kap. Basically said NFL players are c00ns and the league is owner dominated. Said the the NFL refuses to take a stand on social issues, which forces Kap to make protests like these on his own. Said the NFL should have put a decal or patch on the uniforms acknowledging racial issues.

Yeah braylon ain't gonna hold his tongue either. He is another kat that felt he was done wrong by the league. So he sure as hell ain't gonna tow the company line.

Paul Finebaum showing his roots on College Football Live, Joey Galloway wanted to whoop this cac ass after the segment ended on Colin Kaepernick's protest. I give it to Galloway for not getting ignant with that big eared bytch, but he didn't back down either. He said the focus need to be on the issues that caused the protest.

RG3 never disagreed with Kaep. Cacs have been trying to run him out of the league for years so i can understand why he gave that answer.

While I'd like to see more brothers in the league sit for the anthem I'm at least happy that most stayed on code and defended Colin and didn't throw him under the bus.

I guarantee that if there's another police shooting or something pops off during the season we'll see more players sit.

Dam 23 Million views for a Tomi Lahren Facebook video.



Edit now 25 Million in less than 14 hours :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol:

When you see huge numbers for racists like her and other posted in this thread how can anyone question if Trump has a legit chance to win. Fox news has been number one in ratings for over a decade for a reason this country is full of people who agree with their agenda now Trump wants them to get out and vote.
