Tell that to the owners that donate to the political campaigns, as well as owners that speak up and back Trump. Players using their standing and stage to support and spread a message is not a distraction, and is 100% what the platform should be used for.
Man, this guy just proves to be one of the most ignorant on here these days. A+ job if that's what you're trying to achieve.
I wish so badly these anti-Kap hardliners could explain themselves personally to Jackie Robinson, John Carlos, and Tommie Smith why politics should be kept out of sports or the anthem isn't an appropriate thing to protest.
alright so I'm wrong then go convince 31 other teams he deserves to be signed. Nobody wants him. Nobody wants negative media attention, loss of fans and other bullshit distracting from a team trying to win games. Like i said its a BUSINESS.
"If Nickelback is bad go convince the 20 million people who bought Rockstar" "If Trump is bad go convince the millions who elected him" "If fascism is bad go convince the Nazi party"
By nobody, you mean the owners, who are refusing to sign him because of political reasons/differences, the very things you claim should be out of football. This is nothing more than a smear campaign against him for taking a damn knee during an anthem. But sure, teams should keep rolling out QBs like Cutler and Tolzien
there are plenty of coaches in the NFL that would bench any clown for kneeling and during the anthem and plenty of players black or white that thinks its disrespectful too
I haven't been following this whole thing too closely but didn't other players kneel/sit during week 1 and didn't receive any flack for it? Also, Kaepernick didn't have a bad year last year if these stats were correct: Started 11/12 games, threw for 2200 yards and had a 4-1 TD to Interception ratio (16 TDs and 4 picks). Yes the team went 1-10 in those games but they were a horrid team. If Kaep was on a playoff bound team, I think he'd be a solid QB. If I remember correctly, him and some top people didn't get along too well and that (along with the kneeling) could've blackballed him. These owners are all friends so if one owner had an issue, they all have an issue. That is, until their quarterback is hurt or under-performing then friendship goes out the door haha. I'd be shocked if he's NOT signed by November.
Yes, by saying black and white players think that it's disrespectful means he should be benched. Again, him kneeling affected NOBODY. But yep, he should be benched for that!!!
You just don't argue your opinions well, that's the problem. Your word choices suck and most of your analogies are logical fallacies. Not to mention, you use a bunch of name calling so of course people are going to call you out on your bad discussion tactics.
"Politics should be kept out of sports" "I completely support the owners blacklisting Kap for political reasons." Okay.
I went to a AAA baseball game this summer where they handed me a coupon for beef jerky upon entering and had a guy in a hot dog costume air guitar to Florida Georgia Line inbetween innings.
