Is it because of Kap that this happens? Or because there is a centuries-old history of racist cops?

Also, Cops have been get spit in for decades. This isn’t a new thing... it’s just that the people who are upset by this, that dint actually understand why need hyperbole and fake statistics to validate their unconscious bias.

He inflamed the hate and mistrust. The vast majority of law enforcement are doing the right thing and putting their lives on the line every day. Facts.

Why? How does it affect you or “most people” what this guy does? 

I'm a police detective.  Let's not it get it twisted, he wasn't a social justice warrior to begin with.  He was a guy who went to practice wearing police pig socks and walked around with a Fidel Castro tee shirt (I'm sure Cubans and Cuban Americans had reason to be angry).  After being called out he suddenly decided he was about social justice and started kneeling, etc.  If you're a police officer, child or spouse of a police officer and you enjoy watching football, you shouldn't have to accept players wearing police pig socks infused in your entertainment.  If you're someone who had to endure living under a corrupt, repressive regime (Castro, etc.) along with family members who suffered political, economic and personal repercussions living under a despot, you shouldn't have a spoiled brat promoting your oppressor infused with your entertainment. If you're a war hero like Steelers OL Alejandro Villanueva (Villanueva was a captain in the United States Army, in which he served as an Army Ranger and was decorated with a Bronze Star for valor.), you shouldn't be forced to sit in the locker room during the National Anthem because of a person like Colin Kaepernick.  So, many people chose to turn their backs on the entertainment that, for them, became less enjoyable and even a bit insulting, particularly when he went from being a childish douche to a Social Justice Warrior by rewriting his existing narrative and getting the media to swallow the whole thing as if he were "brave".  He was washed up.  He took a huge payout from the NFL (out of court settlement) and now its time to move on from that idiot.

Insert socks worn by CK, or was that a photoshopped picture? Yeah, could be big trouble if he gets signed by Jets.

No he didn’t. It was always there. Has been for a long, long time. What he did was ask people to care about it, and talk about it. He was met with divisive agendas and outrage that deflects from the subject. Why? Simple. White peoples liked it better when minorities kept quiet and knew their place. Plus, there’s a huge cross-section of America that doesn’t understand that caring about humanity isn’t a zero-sum game.

Yeah most people feel that way.  
 

There were plenty of polls indicating that. Along with plenty of clowns swearing they were done with the game.  It’s why the NFL is doing this dog and pony show.   They’re scared shlt they’ll lose that casual fan that can walk away and turn elsewhere

Don’t ruin my tv time!!!

But, if you’re a minority you’d better sit down, shut up and accept that racist cops are gonna do what they do in your community.

Johnson doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

As a fan you wish for a competent, intelligent owner with real passion for his team.  Just our luck, we got JUST a social justice warrior.  Woody is no Bob Kraft but compare to his Fredo brother it is night and day.  We are doomed cause I think Woody staying ambassador until Trump leave office in 2024.

Polls. Like, on the internet? 

You know a poll isn’t the right research method for something like this, right? And that choosing the wrong research method is typically a way of influencing the result to suit the narrative?
