Salute to Colin Kaepernick: Kaepernick sits during national anthem

Not mad at Obama. It's an election year and he's the "Commander and Chief". There's no way in front of a military audience was he not going to say what he said. This is chees not checkers folks. He already said Colin's "Consitutional Rights" are protected. As for Chip Kelly punk a$$, he's looking more and more like a fool. Blaine is going to mess around and have San Fran at 1-3 if they don't win this weekend. His excuses for keeping Colin out are falling apart by the day. I'm positive not only does Goodell not want Colin playing but neither does the owners. Could yo imagine Colin leading the team back to the playoffs again? It would be a media firestorm. They would litterally rather San Fran flop this year than have Colin possibly be successful again.

But he can scold black people in front of black people.

Who said that? Because I didn't. I'm speaking on him as the leader of the Military being his job. Let's stop acting like we don't know who he works for. The Military Industrial Complex runs the United States. We spend more money on Defense than anything else in this country. If you think a Commander and Cheif is ever not going to pander to the Military than I don't know what to tell you. The only thing I think he should of brought up is "VeteransforKaepernick" to show there are veterans supporting him.

I have a suspicion that the Redskins are benching Duke Ihenacho for publicly supporting the protests on twitter. I have no proof, but he might be the best safety on the team and he started in a Super Bowl. But he hasn't seen the field all year...

Desean Jackson, Niles Paul, Greg Toler and Rashaud Ross protested the last game. Desean is untouchable but the rest are backups

I'm keeping my eye on the situation

Making a covert "All Lives Matter" statement is NOT cool at all. He straight up pandering to the military by FALSELY being critical in his assumption that Kaepernick and the people who protest alongside him doesn't understand the pain they men & women and their families go through. The president is on the last leg of his presidency for he doesn't have to pander, but he COULD of at least not mention shyt that's is UNTRUE and just left at he backs anyone's bills of rights. AND could of used that golden opportunity to ADDRESS issues within the military that Kaepernick is as well protesting against. By saying that Kaepernick and the others need to listen to the military just undermines the claim of he support him in what he's doing. It's another way of saying, Kaep has a right to protest, but not in that way because he fails to understand how it'll affect the military and their families.
