Of course, but that speaks to a larger problem- poverty/crime in largely black neighborhoods.

I'm just saying that Kaeperick's protest seems to be much less focused than that. Black Lives Matter seems to have lost its focus as well. We should all be able to agree that the police shouldn't be executing citizens in the street. (Sadly, not everyone actually does.) But when you get into more vague and complex problems it confuses the cause.

Race baiting dog whistlers of CFMB, what's your take on a former army ranger who served with Pat Tillman taking this stance?

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

So, not much to say then, huh?

Dave Zirin of the Nation just told Spiegel and Goff that Kaepernick is risking his NFL career and a starting spot by protesting this way. I dunno--I think the NFL will let anyone play. I find this hard to accept.

It wouldn't surprise me if some teams didn't want a perceived distraction taking a roster spot.

I'd say his awful qb'ing is jeopardizing his starting spot and career more than anything he's protesting

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Aaron Rodgers could come out of the closet while taking a dump on the American flag and most NFL teams are going to let him play quarterback.

He may realize that and thinks the 49ers will be less likely to risk bad PR and release someone who is "taking a stand."

Rodney once literally faked one of my college roommates out of his shoes (well, one shoe) in a high school game, and he's a cool guy, but I just don't know what the hell he is talking about here.

What Harrison is saying is that Kaepernick did not grow up in the black community and because of that he doesn't necessary relate with black people in the same way that people who grow up in that community do.

thanks for the recap

By that logic, someone with 2 black parents who grew up in a predominantly white suburb isn't black either.

That was my initial thought...it was a pre-emptive move to make it uncomfortable for the 49ers to cut him.
