Kaepernick and his copycats won't change America by insulting it - and the brave men and women who died for his freedom to protest in the first place

G-d Bless America and having the Freedom to do what Kaepernick did, and the freedom to show support for what he did, drowning out the voices of tyranny that would ban him and punish him for doing what he did.

Based on online sales, San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick has the most popular NFL jersey as the football season kicks off.Weeks after his silent protest of the U.S. national anthem led to a slew of think pieces, the back-up quarterback’s No. 7 jersey was the top-seller at NFLShop.com, CBS Sports reported.

The demand for the jersey looks to outweigh the number of fans who have burned it, disagreeing with Kaepernick’s actions.
The quarterback made headlines for sitting — and later taking a knee — during a preseason game. Later, Kaepernick told reporters that his move was meant “to bring awareness and make people realize what’s really going on in this country.”
“There are a lot of things that are going on that are unjust, people aren’t being held accountable for, and that’s something that needs to change,” he said. “That’s something this country stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all. And it’s not happening for all right now.”
As The Intercept, among others, have pointed out, the third stanza of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” penned by Francis Scott Key, is extremely unsympathetic to slaves.
Kaepernick’s protest has “once again made us realize the power of athletes,” William Rhoden, former sports columnist for The New York Times, told the NewsHour last week.

Now, Rhoden said, there are more young African-American men who are “becoming much more fluent in our history and are really becoming unafraid to use this podium to express views that are controversial and not controversial, and using this sort of national anthem as sort of the lightning rod for a lot of these controversies.”

NO surprised that you support this maggot. You two belong together.

What else would we expect from the resident KAPO-nick than a post that conveniently drowns out that this POS is anti-America and dumber than Shit, which is the sole reason he's taken this idiotic stance. The scum deserves to be outcasted by SANE and RATIONAL people who actually do embrace our free society without celebrating our FRINGIEST outspoken idiots.

Can't wait to be "hit back hard."

FRINGE Idiot. Nothing is more Pro American than peacefully protesting. G-d Bless Kaepernick and the other NFL players who are joining in, even if I disagree with how they are doing it. It's what makes, and keeps America great, until a Fascist like the Idiot Drumpf that you support gets in and bans such behavior, and starts rounding up people who do it, and people of certain religions. Idiots like you won't care, until they come for us, like they did in Germany. Of course, you'll side with those rounding your own people up, because that's who you are.

[h=2]Dolphins kneel, Seahawks lock arms and Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters raises fist during national anthem on 9/11 anniversary as more NFL stars join Kaepernick's protest[/h]

The NFL stars carried on with their demonstrations as the 15th anniversary of 9/11 was marked in stadiums across the country. At least four Dolphins players - Arian Foster, Michael Thomas, Kenny Stills and Jelani Jenkins - refused to stand before their game at the Seattle Seahawks - who stood and locked arms on the other side of the field. The Dolphins subsequently released a statement on the controversy: 'We encourage all members of our organization to stand at attention during the national anthem out of respect and appreciation for the freedoms we are afforded as Americans.' Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters raised his fist during the national anthem . The rest of his team linked arms in before the kick off of their game against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday in a sign of 'unity'. Peters' demonstration is similar to the Black Power Salute Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed during a medal ceremony at the 1968 Olympics. But not a single New York Jets or Cincinnati Bengals player kneeled down or staged a protest before their game in the Big Apple. That was also the case before the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants in Arlington. High school football players have started to kneel as the protest continue to spread across th

[h=2]'NFL players who boycott national anthem on 9/11 should stay in their locker rooms': Actor Rob Lowe weighs into Kaepernick protest row and calls on athlete's to 'respect the fallen'[/h]

West Wing actor's (top right inset) tweet didn't stop Marcus Peters (left) from making a black power salute at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City as protests which began with 49er Colin Kaepernick (bottom right) continued into Sunday. 'Any player [who] wants to boycott the anthem on 9/11 should be asked to remain in the locker room until kickoff.' When one Twitter user responded that the players were exercising their constitutional right to free speech, Lowe replied: 'But there is a time and place. It's 9/11. Give it a rest for a day and respect the fallen.'
