Feetzballer Kaepernick 'protests inequality' at preseason game

lol.

moron gonna lets some "feels" ruin his career.

get over yourself.

also, fuck all those people who fought for your right to have an opinion, asshole.
 
He's just trying to grab attention for making political remarks because he can't grab any attention for his skills on field any more.

Great point, which "super patriots" tend to forget. That said, I get to exercise my right to a free opinion as well, which is, Kaepernick is a child not to be taken seriously.

This makes me think back to my initial reaction to the pic of that gymnast not putting her hand over her heart, which was a truly negative one. It felt disrespectful to me, when she was most likely overwhelmed by the moment and maybe had somehow never been sufficiently clued in to the proper (if informal) protocol.

She made a mistake. Kaepernick is just a baby posing as a man.

However, the highest and purest stance of a true defender of our freedoms is best summed up, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," apparently actually penned, not by Patrick Henry or Voltaire, but by Evelyn Beatrice Hall in 1906.
 
Ironic perhaps that many of the people criticizing him likely support a candidate who claims America isn't great anymore. But, whatever.

What would be the time and place, exactly? A press conference? At home?

The whole point of doing it then was to make a point, to draw attention to the cause. This may have also been a way of getting his name back in the media, but I doubt there would be significantly better venues.

I'm reminded of the people who gripe about protesters blocking streets, and suggesting they make their voices heard elsewhere. What that really says: "I don't want to hear your opinion. I don't want you to make me question my world view, and I definitely don't want you to disrupt the status quo." You don't produce change by being unintrusive.
