If your country doesn't respect you, why would you respect it? To be American is to be allowed to protest. BTW he did say he would donate a million dollars to local outfits.
Just like all the assholes in my area that had their flags upside down the day after President Obama was elected.

But it`s not the Country that is disrespecting. As far as I know, it`s not doctors, firemen, farmers, or car salesmen, it`s local police run by above the law ranks. You can`t twist that into your Country did you wrong unless you need shoes at a destroyed Payless, or clothes from the ravaged Walmart up the street.

You`re talking to an old fool from old school that remembers those fountain and the sign on the city bus. I don`t need to read about it, I could write about it.

I love how, all of a sudden, the American flag is about the veterans. When did the flag stop being about America?

You`re too stupid to know that there would be no America if not for your dead and living vets.

It stands for America and that was never changed or said to be changed. A baiter like you is expected to make false claims like your post I quoted.

Anything else ? Did you figure out where the big sticks are ?

I think that its cool he wants to make a statement. What I think people fail to realize is cops/ vigilantes see this get pissed and continue to murder without the worrie of convictions.

He is disrespectful to sit.
Not a good career move either. His worth will drop and no team will want his troubles next year.

Sorta surprised people didnt start throwing sodas or trash at him while he sits there.

Coming up in mixed neighborhoods (Spanish Harlem, Black Harlem and finally Bushwick-Bedford Stuyvesant) I had plenty of Black friends who refused to pledge allegiance to the flag or rise for the playing of the National Anthem, I always thought that was very disrespectful until a brother "pulled my coat".

Till this day when we go hanging out to sporting events the minute the announcement comes over the loud speaker "ladies and Gentlemen please rise..." They all need to make a bathroom run. Or hit the concession stand because the line is "short".

You see that happening with the more mature crowd then with the younger crowd. Next time you go to a sporting event see what happens during the playing of the National Anthem.

You make good points. But saying America is the problem and not standing for the Anthem is taking his frustration and accusations out on the wrong crowd, so to speak. Kap can and would get National press time no matter where he choses to apply his Right. He wont take his personal time to do it. Anyone can be offended by insults to our Country, you don`t need to have served or have veterans in your family to be upset.

The issue with corrupt police and cops that murder for racist purposes, needs to be brought to the source, which is the police involved. It`s like a Skipper not liking his Orders and taking it out on his crew. He`ll get noticed, but his crew wont like him.

I disagree that it`s the best platform he has, It`s free and not out of his way. Convenient, but not the best avenue. He`s a wealthy man.

The socks are a uniform infraction, There are rules about adding or subtracting uniform codes.

I think it`s totally cowardice for anyone to go after anybody but the police involved and their higher up Commands. If a Baltimore cop does wrong intentionally, don`t take it out on the folks in Denver.

The riot strategy is profitable to only the rioter stealing goods from towns effected by them. Nothing more.

That's now how it works though. You could have the most corrupt officer that exists, and have him attack and rape a child, then the Police Union and full Blue Code or whatever will 100% be behind him and support him to get charges dropped. If there were so many honest cops, we wouldn't have so many corrupt cops.

Lots of folks are not simple, jingoistic louts. They respect a person for not being a conforming dog who achieved straight A's in obediance school.
