Colin Kaepernick: I'll continue to sit during National Anthem

Fuck this loser!! I can't believe no one has posted about this dumb shit yet but it's all over my FB feed. His own black parents gave him up and he was adopted and raised by white parents and he feels oppressed??

Colin Kaepernick: I'll continue to sit during National Anthem - NFL.com

Quote:
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The word "cancer" was used by some 49ers players Sunday following the uproar over quarterback Colin Kaepernick's decision Friday to not stand for the National Anthem for a third time before a preseason game. Kaepernick's reasoning: to protest what he feels is racial injustice in America.

Linebacker NaVorro Bowman didn't say that Kaepernick or his stance was the "cancer," but in-house divisiveness was and would be if players don't work their way through Kaepernick's new-found, pre-game ritual.

"Things like this break teams apart and we can't let that happen," Bowman said. "Colin chose to do this. We know Colin and we support him. We don't think he is a bad teammate because he decided to voice his opinion."

Other teammates, like many in the public, were and are bothered, especially since not standing for the National Anthem seems like a swipe at military servicemen and service women who sacrificed so Kaepernick could freely decide to do what he wants -- like protest.
