Political protest is as American as it gets. He got attention for his cause and put some money where his mouth was. That's much better than a scumbag like Richardson. That's ignorance. I have to remind the younger Firemen that when we're on a detail in uniform and the National Anthem is played, they are supposed to come to the position of attention, and if covered render hand salute. Ive taught my son's to remove their cover and stand quietly at rest (you put your hand over your heart for the Pledge, not the Anthem but I at least appreciate the effort). Many people haven't been taught that, and that's shame on their parents. But that a$$hole chose to take a ******* knee to spite this nation, and did it when honoring those that died on 9/11. There's a big difference between being inattentive or rude, and being purposefully disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kaepernick was good, He's be signed If Kaep was good he would've kept his job all along and the bitter attention-grabbing sideshow act disguised as a bigger cause would have never been born.

BklynJetsFan85 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Mediocre QB who sh*t all over my fellow veterans and active/reserve duty service members game in and game out? He can get ****ed - I hope no team picks him up, and if they do, i hope he gets injured on the very first play ending his season and career. He doesn't deserve another shot... absolute pos in my mind and many other patriots of this fine nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all reality there have been many worse QBs than Sanchez - and the big reasons he declined while on the team was 2 things - 1. The jets basically got rid of his offensive line that was strong and replaced it with bullsh*t. 2. Let Braylon Edwards walk when he did, and let Dustin Keller go (2 of his fav targets) - also his run game was gone... they had thomas jones and ladanian tomlinson/shonne greene.... and after that - bleh.... Sanchez threw a lot of picks and whatnot - but that's because he had no time to throw.

However, the reality is that if the jets aren't winning then the entire season will be about the knee, and Kaep and the overall team talent are not good enough to make such a turn around.

Hael Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Kaep is a bottom tier starting calibre QB in the league, and is basically akin to Fitzpatrick in overall level. Read he's about the 28th to the 35th best QB in the league by most measures. The only reason you hang on to that level of talent is if he's payed like a backup, he's very young or if he brings intangibles, leadership and mentoring to the young guys. None of those applies to Kaep who wants to be payed like a starter, isn't young, and doesn't seem like he wants to play and causes a media ruckus. So yea, it doesn't make sense for any team, especially when his ceiling doesn't seem very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the well being of his people is more important to him than being a qb, making millions, his public reputation and being quiet when what a flag stands for seems to fall short when it comes to his people. That's actually commendable and is praiseworthy given that ultimately money and popularity is not more important than his people. Muhammad Ali was considered an idiot in his day as well when he was stripped of his accolades, reputation and prime boxing years given a similar, yet more public stance. I guarantee that if anyone would have asked him before he died was it worth it his answer would be "without a doubt". Yet 50 years later this stance is still looked at in such a ridiculous asinine light, that exposing when what your country stands for doesn't apply to you and yours you suddenly hate your country. Same thing was said about Ali from the mid 60's to early 70's. However as people mentally matured they realized that all Ali tried to do was make the thought of the flag and the reality of things the same. Anyone who's mature enough can clearly see that what Kaep was doing was not just similar, but by the very definition he did EXACTLY what the "pledge of allegiance to the United States" says to do when you make that pledge to the flag. By that fact, he's not being just a great citizen but doing something more than just for himself (putting at risk personal gain) but for the well being of his people and fellow country men. That's the definition of being an American isnt it? If Americans are more concerned about the sport than the well being of fellow Americans then how "American" are they really? Seems like they're more concerned about well-being of the sport than they are their own country men. If I sit a watch a man put everything of that stature at risk for a message, Im going to atleast listen to him and not immediately place him in the "he hates his country and troops" category for the sake of being dismissive. That's not what fellow Americans do, or should I say, that's not what we "stand for". right? (since we're talking about people taking "a knee"). It takes a huge set of onions to do that when understanding the world you live in. And yet, that's more important than guaranteeing yourself employment in the NFL if that's what it comes down to. If he never gets a job in the NFL again, that's basically putting what he did in the same category as not ever giving Ray Rice a job or Aaron Hernandez a job again given what they did. Are these situations really equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope and as a Army vet I have no issue with that, it also does not mean he hates America. This is a conservation mentality. I do find some of his views hysterical especially about Che being a hero because he met with Malcom X. What has he said bad about the US instead this is right as long he does not instigate a riot or cause harm or impedes someone else's beliefs. He did not do that either. Everyone acts like he is the first sports person not to stand for the anthem, guess what he is not the first there either anyone rember the 90s? https://theundefeated.com/features/abdul-rauf-doesnt-regret-sitting-out-national-anthem/ Dislike because he sucks, dislike him for his views but to say he hates America and disrespected anyone is not entirely correct. Where are the people who are saying this when I was in the Army getting mocked in the 80s? or the Vietnam Vets who got spit on. As a vet and as an american I may not agree with everything he says but I put my money where my mouth is by serving and that allows him the right whether I or anyone else agrees or not to peacefully protest. Over half the people complaining have not served I asked people at bars and at events and I get a blank stare back when I ask were in the serivice, the same way I say he has his rights I would defend yours also for the same behavior 100% agree. This is America, not a dictatorship or banana republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
