Protesting during our country's anthem is a right. Personally, I don't respect any able American that doesn't stand for our National Anthem but it is his right. Deciding you don't want to sign Colin Kaepernick to a team you own, is also a right. Playing in the NFL is not a right. It is very much a privilege. The best thing Kap can do is what he's doing. Takes his bumps like a man to show the youth that the decisions you make, though well within your rights, have consequences. And that nothing should be taken for granted.
Sorry STS, I strongly disagree.
Yes, everybody's "right" is guaranteed by the laws of America, but should you still be allowed to collect a paycheck on it? Do I need to bring up Kaepernick's checks he collected from companies with "questionable" racist backgrounds like Nike, etc., that he didn't "sit down" for? This topic has already been discussed "ad nauseum", no need to open old wounds.....
Like I said a long time ago, Muhammad Ali he is not. NOT willing to "fight" for his "cause" (whatever that is) That's the difference.....
