I enjoy watching sports, especially baseball and hockey. That’s probably not much of a surprise being originally from Ferguson, which as everyone now knows is a suburb of St. Louis. The baseball Cardinals and the Blues have provided decades of enjoyment for me, and I’m happy to have attended many of their games and watched a whole lot more on television. The football Cardinals and the Rams? Personally, not so much.
What’s my point? Whether we like it or not, sports figures are often admired, and their actions really do impact others, or at least others’ opinions. I recall Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, and Stan Musial of the Cardinals as well as names like Plager, Hull, Sutter, and Berenson of the Blues. As a kid, I saw these guys and others like them as larger than life.
So now we have the odd story of Mr. Kaepernic, which we’ve examined here before, and into which our president, with apparently nothing better to do at the G20 Summit, has just injected himself.
Race baiter
But like Obama, he hasn’t gotten anything done. The issue is Kapernick and the other players taking a knee or protesting. Not one has tried to go into Black neighborhoods and making a positive impact between police and the community.
You can protest until the cows come home but if they are not willing to do that, then nothing changes.
he absolutely has a right to behave like a jerk.
“While many disagree, his right to say it and act it is as american as apple pie.”
He has the right to say whatever he wants, yes. However, WE, the nfl viewers and those who attend games pay him. We pay him to play football, not spew racism and lies about cops. He has no right to inject his racist politics into the game we pay him to play.
He is being an$#%&!@*
Cut his sorry$#%&!@*
Krapernik forgot the one rule everyone should live by, you don’t c**p where you eat.
So says the un-american.
EXCUSE MY CAPS. OF COURSE OBAMA PRAISES IT.HE’S A MUSLIM.HE HATES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND OUR FLAG AND OUR MILITARY FORCES.
I’m being sincere . . . Kaepernick is an a__hole and you are for supporting him. You can protest what you feel is an injustice without disrespecting our flag and our country. Anything less is unacceptable.
