I'm saying, giving up his money is a gesture that I would actually respect.

Your respect for him is irrelevant. What makes you think he wants it?

You don't ever answer pertinent questions. Why do you think you deserve an answer?

You out here answering questions with questions. I asked you a simple question. Why you dodging? Do you or do you not hate America?

The irony. All you've been doing here is accusing people of not loving America. I can't remember the last time you wrote something enlightening.

 

[rico x hood]

Why don't you figure out the answer and explain it to me?

Just as I suspected. A fake American. Can't answer one simple question.

Just because he worked hard? Keep had a degree, heck, dude was ADOPTED. He started off with a terrible hand. Dude worked his tail off, to get where he's at. You're more concerned about a Lamborghini and Mansion, that shows were your head is at. You're worried about material possessions, every one does not have desires to be millionaires or billionaires, some people just want comfort.

50 years ago, Kaepernick wouldn't even be able to play quarterback in the NFL. If you want Kaepernick to give back his EARNED money, tell the NFL to refund the money they've made of Black Athletes, and black fans.

The problem in America, is the sense of entitlement, or being better than other COUNTRIES. Which is arrogant, and wrong. That goes for all genders/races, within America. I see it daily, stop this parade of being better than other countries when in all actually, majority of Americans are insecure, lazy, and entitled.


"Struggle for sake of his cause"?

, Kaep was put of for ADOPTION. If that ain't struggle, I don't know what to tell you

real talk

You've already shown in many threads that you don't agree with many of my views. So I'm not at all surprised about your opinion.

 

[heatpinoyboy]

Kaep is right on the money. It's funny seeing people prove his point with the racial slurs, threats, and baseless anger towards people of color

I also think it's even more ballsy considering his football career is on the line. He aint a star anymore, he bouta get CUT.

It takes one to know one.

Me and you are not the same.

 @LouisFarrakhan 
We need thousands more like Colin Kaepernick.

Your question doesn't deserve to be dignified with a response and I still don't see why anyone has to prove anything to you. Why do you think so highly of yourself that you believe any of us care whether or not you believe we love America?

Serious question.

paul feinbaum was just on college football live making himself look like an idiot. Said he doesn't know or understand what the issue is and needs someone to explain it to him. Joey Galloway told him it's because he's white nad has never been in situations like minorities and feinbaum got defensive asking what does he mean by situations.

 

[Gordonson]

my question is why doesn't kaep donate his entire salary this year towards charities that help minorities and their communities? that would be taking a real stand instead of doing this.

Kinda seems like a publicity stunt to me, kaep is washed up

Straight up

If Colin were truly courageous, he'd give back all those millions that this evil country gave him to play a game. But he won't because he's not that courageous.

Dude is a bum, anyway. He knows he'll be gone soon so he doesn't give a ****. Nothing courageous about this move at all.

Is there a podcast y'all are getting this from, or is this the same user as the other cats that have damn near spouted this same nonsense verbatim in here?

So now we calling people fake americans? Da f**k is a real american?? Like, what determines how someone is considered a real american? That sounds very similar that that post 9/11 hyper " you either with us or against us in the fight against terrorism " nationalistic furvor. Again, that is a dangerous road to descend down. The Third Reich comes to mind. 

 

[quise2024]

Are people as offended by fans chugging beers, playing on their phones and buying nachos during the national anthem or is standing all that matters?

Exactly


As long as you stand and put your hand over your heart is all that matters to most

basically saying a whole lot of nothing

can anyone tell me what a "real american" is?

no one knows

 

[numbah1grimey]

I tried to when I was 23 but was denied.

Finebaum been a clown. They know what Kaep means, just choose to deflect, purposely

For sure.
It shows the ignorance of U.S history and humanity in general.

And there it goes. It was only a matter of time before someone brought up the nazis. Never fails. Godwin's law is too real.

Some people only like to bring up Godwins Law when they want to deflect from a point that has merit.

Unless you're saying he's wrong, and nationalism and Nazism don't have direct ties.

Replace German nationalism with Italian nationalism. His point stands regardless.

And as usual you deflect by throwing out numerous red herrings.

What does being adopted have to do with race relations though? I respect and sympathize with his upbringing, but it's sort of irrelevant here.

Exactly. He's clearly ready to make those sacrifices, nothing but props to him.

Even black cats are less likely to be adopted LMAO. Black boys are far less likely to be adopted in Amerikkka. The system is deeper than you think it is. Black children cost less to adopt as well as an incentive to get them out. WS takes no losses check the scoreboard Bajilion - 0.

Oh this guy. The international interloper. Is your country so boring that you have to inject yourself in convos that literally have nothing to do with you.

Like get a hobby bro. It's getting sad at this point.

I've told both you and Ninja before on multiple occasions that I have a chronic debilitating illness which prevents me from working and all of my former hobbies that involve physical activity. But since you didn't get the memo apparently, let me explain it again.

My body is unable to properly utilize carnitine, an essential component in providing energy for the body's muscles. That translates to 24/7 chronic pain in both lower legs, muscle weakness and severe muscle cramps during the slightest bit of physical activity. Nothing I enjoy more than the good feeling of some cramps while taking a shower, or being utterly exhausted when I try to make my bed. 

I'm still waiting on my DNA test results to confirm the diagnosis, but the specialists are fairly certain it's CPT-2 deficiency. On top of that, certain triggers aggravate the symptoms. Such triggers being physical activity (the more I move, the more pain and cramps), very hot/cold temperatures, ...

Strenuous physical activity also puts me at risk for kidney failure and rhabdomyolysis. I know it doesn't take much because my urine goes dark brown if I hang out with my friends for a few hours, regardless of how much water I drink. Sounds fun right? Perhaps we should change shoes and see how much time you spend on NT when you've had to give up all of your hobbies and are in pain every second of every day.

It's easy to criticize nationalism and nation states. I personally don't think the alternative is a good idea at all.
