    He can do what he wants and he didn't break any rules. He is obviously spoiled and I hope his sponsors drop him. I wouldn't walk across the street to see him play football or to shake his hand. I wonder what his parents think of his behavior. Do they share his beliefs?

    That's true, and very ironic, that one can bash the U.S.A without consequences, but it's not okay to bash Mexico.

    He is a POS and a crummy quarterback. He can run but he can't throw accurately.

    If you believe in free speech, he can say his mind, show his protest, and still live in the country.

    Exactly.

    And that's the big difference.

    A man can just be a lazy player who just doesn't want to participate in what almost all other players do (and all other attending fans), or act like some radical liberal and not do the national anthem; but to sit and disrespect and claim that "all blacks are being oppressed in the US" is just plain ignorance - especially from someone whose current salary is now $114 million dollars.

    Well, my guess is there is one part of him that is just a bit upset as the number of white players continues to dwindle each year, but that feeling disappears quickly when he remembers that blacks are the majority in the NFL.

    Do you think he'll ever protest over the fact that whites are the minority in most sports like football and basketball?

    Do you think he's a Republican? It would be idiotic to guess his political affiliation is Republican.

    I bet the NFL has something in their contract with the players that allows for discipline if a player does something to embarrass the league or damages the league's reputation.

    If he doesn't like it here, he's more than welcome to go back to Africa and live a fricking grass hut.

    The only reason he is not a Bronco is he wouldn't take a pay cut.

    Sure he can, although you have to question the logic.

    Because if he were truly oppressed, his multi-million dollar salary not withstanding, wouldn't he choose to leave?

    Same goes for all liberals really.

    Hate America, think its one giant guns n' Bibles fest, racist around every corner, islamagenderasexismaphobia broadcasting through the airwaves, with rich people standing over us all grinning sinisterly as they pleasure themselves to poor people dying in the streets by the millions ..that is of course unless one of the 100 roaming police hit squads per square mile gets to them first.

    You'd think if things were that bad ...we're even 1/100th that bad ...people would be fleeing like rats from a sinking ship.

    And yet...

    But yes, Kaepernick is certainly free to be the moronic belligerent assclown that he wants to be.

    The NFL however will have to make a call on his actions.

    Because free speech only applies to what the government will do to you.

    The NFL can choose to fine or suspend this assclown for his show of disrespect.

    By will they ...or will they cave to radical militant Black rage?

    I think we all know the answer.

    He's a jerk. He'll be the most hated man in the NFL.

    What a bonehead.

    Like most things left, it's not the insult, but who it was hurled at. In this case it was hurled at America and not a pet project, so the left will approve or just ignore it. The NFL is left, very left.

    Gotta love how the alt-right on this forum spends all day claiming they aren't racist but as soon as a black man does anything they are automatically a democrat. Wonder how Ben Carson feels about that. Guess it doesn't matter since Republicans would never nominate a black man for President.

    Can you explain why no republicans made 'racist' remarks about Kaepernick prior to his display of his hatred of America? And can you explain why racists would even watch a sport dominated by blacks?

    Someone hates America and lbs defend him. What you should actually be doing is helping him relocate to a country that would make him feel more safe and comfortable. You do that for the refugees, why not Kap?
