Courageous like a Dixie chick. Is courageous the right word there?? Maybe not
Colin Kaepernick is the new face of Nike’s Just Do It Campaign.

You don’t have to agree with CK to acknowledge the strength of his beliefs. ...and I am far from a liberal.
It didn't go as he planned. He was washed up backup that was trying to remain relevant so this was nothing more than a publicity stunt that went in a direction he hadn't planned on... Plain & simple.
BULLSHIT!!
He made it very clear that his "protest" was over & that there would be no more kneeling when he was begging for any team to take him...
Doesn't seem real committed to me...
Not true he had multiple chances to get on with a team with the stipulation that he not continue with his protest. His protest was peaceful and didn't hurt anyone or damage property which is the type of protest I have no problem with. The only damage he did was to some people's feeling many of which never served.
This is it exactly. The truth is he did it as a Ploy to try and stay in the league. It was a smart move thinking that teams wouldn’t want to seem racist by cutting him. Trust me if there was a team out there that thought he Would help them win they would pick him up.
Well, now police brutality will stop for sure.
No one’s going to pick up a marginal player who is also a disruption to their business. If he was a really valuable player people would’ve picked him up
Statistics and reality be damned.... what a fvcking choade:
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," he toldSteve Wyche of NFL Mediaabout the decision two years ago. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
Nahh….you can do a little counting yourself. The dude wore socks with pigs in police uniforms on them to football practice. if they think he's admirable I don't find them respectable. I won't be buying any more nike products either.
I was ordering some new kicks a few days ago and for the first time in years I ordered a pair of Adidas. Now I'm really glad I did.
He was one of the worst QBs in the league at the time he started doing all of this. He knew his days were numbered at that time. These millions you speak of were just in his mind and I guess yours.
He was also offered a contract and turned it down that had zero to do with standing or kneeling and more about getting paid what he thought he was worth (which is crazy inflated)
I appreciate your service, but i completely disagree with your take.
He is doing this now to pay bills. This is his profession. He is a new age Jesse Jackson.
Thank you.
Saying that he was one of the worst qbs in the league just isn't true. In his last year he throw for 16tds with 2 rushing tds to go along with only 4 ints.
The Bills just named Nathan Peterman their starter. Last year he threw 5 INTs in one half and also fumbled.
This entire weekend of cuts and decision making was evidence of Kaepernick not being out of the league before he did this.

Well at least he has a job now.

Glad I already dumped their stock. To many companies getting too political for me. I am just an old conservative....and love it.
He isn’t sacrificing shit. He stands to gain more from not playing than he ever did behind center. He epitomizes this generation’s protest movement in that it’s all about attention whoring themselves and calling for awareness without putting yourself in danger all while accomplishing nothing. If it was truly about playing football then he would already be on a roster as a backup. He had an offer from Seattle, Elway said he had an offer from Denver and he would’ve had an offer from Baltimore had his girlfriend not called the owner a racist and Ray Lewis an Uncle Tom. People want to act like he’s the new Muhammad Ali and he’s not.
Thanks to all the hard working police many of whom sacrificed everything for what they believed in. I will never buy Nike again. Also will be calling Dan Radakovich tomorrow
He no longer has a choice, but to dedicate his life to it.
He's black listed in the NFL. I can't see him ever taking another snap.
You were probably a supply bitch or some other soft skill MOS that had more females in AIT than males.
Congrats on being lost after high school.
Should’ve told @johnhugh that you could join the military and still be a coward. Maybe he wouldn’t still be living with his parents.
Guy wore a Castro t shirt. This tells me he’s a moron and so are the people that support him. It really is that simple for me.
Pretty sure he didn’t think things were gonna turn out the way they did...you know, the whole not having a job anymore
Peterman is in his 2nd year in the league. He outperformed our very own Deshaun Watson in Death Valley and had the best qb performance I have seen vs Clemson. Peterman belongs and will be improved this year. He should not be a starter though.
You sound like one hell of a good time at a party. Total people person.

Holy chit people. No one gives a flying ****. CK could be protest ing Nazis or south Carolina football and it wouldn't matter. Same people who claim to hate identity politics seem to need it and worship it for something to hate fvck.
He didn't do it expecting to lose millions. He thought he could kneel, make a statement and then have teams clamoring for his service.
And FWIW, if he was still good enough to play, a team would have signed him.
He's an attention whore and it blew up in his face.
I don’t know you or the poster you are attacking, but unless you are a combat veteran you should close your mouth. I AM a combat arms veteran. I will simply state that any one who wrote the check and took the oath, regardless of branch or MOS, is a far far better person than those that ‘chose’ otherwise. While in service, I appreciated plane rides, having ammo, eating and getting paid.
Most that talk the shXt and never served are trying to compensate for choosing the easy way out- and will continue to compensate by trying to ‘out American’ everyone else. If you served, at f@@@ing ease, if not maybe one day you can do your part for the country.
WE see and WE know. The brave die but once, cowards die every day.
