Damn his wife to be is a fine woman! The haterade is strong against Colin, the man stood (or took a knee) for his beliefs-why the hate?
You know that old saying about Hos and Housewives? This chick got passed around the locker-room like a party favor, and Colin was the the last stop on that train.
People hate Colin for several reasons, the first being that she openly shits on Veterans... the Second being that he is Terrorist sympathizer... the Third is that he pretends to speak for black people despite not being black. I could add some more stuff about how he hates on good cops without bothering to call out the bad ones, but what's the point?

Agree. Unfortunately a lot of members here simply have "certain" views about the world and "attitudes" towards certain types of people that are.... not shared by people like you and me (and most people in the world). I won't delve into this or say anything further about it, but I think we all know what I'm talking about. It's a reason why I mostly just stick to the Travel section....
Right... because anyone who doesn't like him HAS to be racist. That's fucking horseshit and you know it.
Here is the deal. We know that Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and Philando Castle where straight up murdered. We know these things happen, and justice infrequent. However, to pretend that it only happens to black guys when most of people killed by police are white is pure RACIST BULLSHIT. Last time I looked in 2015 the people shot by police 732 were white, and 381 were black.
So, as to why Kaepernick rubs me the wrong way. He is a millionaire athlete that grew up spoiled and pampered like a bitch... and he acts like it. I have personally faced more ill treatment at the hands of police than him. Fuck him.
Bottom line. It's not the message I'm against... it's the messenger. When this comes from a guy like Micheal Bennett who has had issues with police I'm willing to listen. If a guy like Russel Wilson or RG3 brought up this issue... I would not disapprove. However, fuck Kaepernick. If you want to suck him off, then be my guest, but don't pretend that just because people don't have your same bisexual fantasies that they are racists.
