One of the funniest things to come out of this whole thing is how many Americans think America is the only country with freedom of speech. Canada has freedom of speech. Britain has freedom of speech. France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Brazil, Norway, Italy, etc all have freedom of speech. These people really think America is some oasis from the chaos of every other country. Like it's some District 9 shyt as soon as you leave American borders. As if America is the only country where Kap wouldn't be arrested and thrown into a gulag for saying what he said. Guarantee this idiot Lahren's passport is empty.

Of course you do. Even after I actually agreed with not standing for the national anthem. However,I don't believe Colin is genuine with his stance and is just trying to transition into a new " career" of social activism. Anddddd in two weeks you won't care about this;and it will be a distant memory for you
Football fans like you are the main reason I can't stand the sport.

Yeah I agree. This evening I was driving to work listening to the bomani jones podcast and that guy Will Cain was about to have an emotional breakdown because Dominique Foxworth was killing him with facts and then Bomani came on the show(he was on vacation) and trolled will and made him look stupid. Will kept trying to pivot and have 3 arguments in one conversation. He looks like tucker carlson brother, and he is also a hard conservative from texas.

Maybe the results would still be the same but I wonder if this was Fresh off the Superbowl Kapernick taking this stand would he have more support in the league from the players.

Got a link to this? Heard Cain on Bomani's show and really want to hear him get shut down.

I'm glad this situation has blown open the rift between rational players and racist/c00n players and coaches.

Good. Force what they really think to come out. I've long thought about that underlying disconnect in worldviews in sports locker rooms beneath all that rah rah we're a band of brothers shyt, especially football. You have a league that's mostly young black men, most of whom probably came from humble beginnings. The owners are all rich white country club fukks who are overwhelmingly Republican voters. Forbes Welcome.

All the great QBs seem to be staunch conservative/Republican types...Elway, Warner, Marino, Brees, Manning, Young, possibly Brady, etc.

When I saw Gene Keady, Digger Phelps, Bobby Knight and Lou Holtz all endorse Trump at once it made me think how much could they really care about their players like they claim they do. Mike Ditka's another racist fukk.

Kaep is making them all go on record. At least we know where a lot of them stand.
its funny too, because no one really pulled their tongue on this one- they just felt like commenting, no doubt encouraged by the general sentiment seemingly supporting their bias. like Ive said, a lot of masks be coming off.

Negativity (Kayfabe)
This whole situation is wild to me.

You have the whole country that basically took a 'timeout' to :salute: Muhammad Ali, when he passed, just a few months ago.

That same country is now taking something where there's no 'grey zone' (Kap explained why he did what he did), and shytting on Kap ruthlessly. When this is something Muhammad Ali would have done, in fact Ali would have done much more.

Wild world that we live in. Donald Trump "Let's make America great again because it's not great now........"<--------30-40% of the country are going to vote for this man as PRESIDENT.

Colin Kapernick *sits during national anthem to protest racial injustice*<-------85% of the country is saying "Know your role hard R" "If you don't like it get the fukk out" "Various forms of the N bomb"

:francis: shyt's sad


BRUH YOU AINT NEVA LIE

THIS COUNTRY DOESN'T WANT CHANGE

They do the same thing with Dr. King's legacy. Dr. King would've faced the same backlash today as he did then.

whites say we don't understand...we say they don't understand...

you see where we stand just by hearing a white face speak about it all...

whites are defending them self for an invisible construct with meaning THEY arrogantly placed on ...we're fighting for the justice that the symbol they hold so dear promised us...


I just feel like I'm being trolled...like all these white folks are programmed to avoid getting it..just so we stay divided ...
