All of the people that say he could have done it a better way have no suggestions as to what is the RIGHT way to do it.

I see Drew Brees and Coach Harbaugh talking about he could have went about it differently, why should he? Who are YOU to tell someone their method of expressing their frustration is WRONG.

Same thing that @ksteezy can't seem to understand

Word. Everyone is clamoring for a revolution but I don't think a lot of people understand that revolution never comes peacefully.

And how would he do that? Stand during the national anthem, but not put his hand over his heart?
 
thats just more deflection on their part

its not about HOW he chose to protest at all, its simply the fact that he did it

the fact that its a such a public form only adds injury to the insult

We see how that worked out for Gabby Douglas. The only way he could've gone about it differently is to stand for the national anthem and scream USA afterwards.
 
I'm assuming the people saying "do it differently" are implying that he could have made his comments pre or post game, or worn something specific on the field. Which is how male and female basketball athletes have recently discussed police brutality.

Would it have gotten as much attention? Nope. But people may be more supportive of a specific issue than going after America as a whole, which is what many probably think he did. But if his point was to bring awareness, obviously what he did works better. But he will also get more backlash in turn.

Still, i say he is getting treated fine in the media. Plenty of people came to his defense. Random NFL fans will be another story.

People can do anything they want. Anything. But I refuse to put kapernick in the same breath of Ali, tommie smith and john Carlos or Mahmoud abdul rauf. Like hell nah.

Rico x Hood, those of us who advocate for Social Democracy are actually in favor of a system that buttresses your purported ideals.

You say that you are in favor of democracy and capitalism. Social Democracy strengthens both Democracy and Capitalism.

The United States is actually a Republic but much of our political history is the tug of war between democratic tendencies and aristocratic tendencies within our Republic. Social Democracy gives more people the education, leisure time and resources to be informed and active within the political process. Social Democracy moves us to the democratic side of the spectrum and away from the aristocratic side of the spectrum that is inherent in all Republics.

Social Democracy with its more equitable distribution of wealth and income, allows more people to participate more fully and completely within a capitalist system. More people can consume, save, invest and create and in so doing, the people can both grow and enjoy the fruits of a market economy. The common man becomes both a worker and a capitalist all at the same time and there is no better bulwark against totalitarian socialism than that sort of citizen.

Without Social Democracy, you have Oligarchy. You have a political system dominated by fewer and fewer. You will be ruled increasingly by caudillos, strongmen, Caesars, warlords and grandees. Meanwhile, your economy will become increasingly feudal where debt peonage and subsistence labor will be the lot of the many and arch rent seeking will be the lot of the few.

You want Democracy and Capitalism to thrive in America, embrace Social Democracy.

They not listening to you many political scientist's will tell you America is more of a democratic republic(republic bolded for a reason) and not a complete democracy like many believe.

Patriotism is not blind and unconditional devotion to your country, that's indoctrination. Every country has its flaws, ignoring them because other countries have it worse is counter-productive and hinders progress towards making the country better. What kind of patriot would I be if I ignored Belgium's struggle against islamic radicalization on the basis of "well at least we ain't Iraq"? Or didn't acknowledge continuously growing problem of racism and discrimination towards middle eastern ethnicities? "Well at least y'all ain't getting ya heads chopped off over here"

A true patriot wants his country to be the best it can be, and the first step towards that is acknowledging its flaws and encouraging solutions to those flaws.

Once again you show a better understanding of these concepts than some Americans do. Repped.

When people say he should have done it a "better" way or different way they really just mean a way that makes them more comfortable. They don't really care about change they just don't like people challenging their idea of what America is and being blunt about it.
