"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game against Green Bay. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."


49ers response

The 49ers issued this statement: "The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem."


funny though

if a player said something like "i really think gays shouldnt be allowed to get married" he would be suspended but this is ok

[charity4thepoor]

lmao. always been a ***got. never gonna change

[Drayton13xpb]

he's just salty that everyone hates him for being a huge bust... and now they will hate him even more lol

[KMR]

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color,"

-I think he means the same country that enables him to make millions despite being ****ty at his job. What a country.

[YOTTO]

He's not even black

[tdnick]

Says a millionaire

Colin Kapernick:

-Biological mom white
-adopted and raised by a white family
-millionaire athlete


Lmao, I get he's expressing his right to freedom of expression, but bro come on.

"My interest in fashion probably would have developed anyway," Kaepernick mused. �But all this stuff made me ask myself in a really focused way: �What do I represent?� And you know what? My racial heritage is something I want people to be well aware of. I do want to be a representative of the African community, and I want to hold myself and dress myself in a way that reflects that. I want black kids to see me and think: �Okay, he�s carrying himself as a black man, and that�s how a black man should carry himself."

LOL at him being a "black" man.

Coping so hard to be black, but you ain't Russell Wilson bro.

-Black father was never in his life
-Biological Mother is white
-Very affluent family adopted by white parents, lived better than most white kids in America

Exactly! i lost all respect for the dude. So done with him. Sure stand up for what you believe but way too many people(of all colors/races) died for this country to give you the right to make millions of dollars playing a game and you can't make your statement another way?

****ing ridiculous.

[JustBertStareU]

Exactly as the guy earlier said, if he said something about gay people he's instantly suspended. Just lol

[YesWayNoWeigh]

Idk about the gay thing. I mean Riley cooper said he'll fight every n**ger and he never got suspended lol

Colin is a potato

[LeonardShelby]

Lol best thing I've seen on the issue

If your not good enough to start over Blaine Gabbert you shouldnt be aloud to stand for the national anthem anyways. USA is for winners

lmao at all the butthurt. lmao at cuckservtards always preaching about muh "freedom" but when Kap uses his first amendment rights to take a stand their calling for him to leave the country. also lmao at kap's point being proven when people just responding to him on social media are threatening him and using racial slurs.

[Shortstop36]

**** like this is comical tbh.

[Upshall18]

#blackexcellence :wow:

[L0lJ0ker3]

Lmao when i saw the notification on my phone from bleacherreport i just laughed cause i knew it would cause a schitstorm.

Oh and to the guys saying he aont even black, one drop rule. You know damn well you would classify him as a black male.

[Future24]

If Russel Wilson or Cam Newton did it then it means something.

A second string QB refusing to stand shouldn't even be national news. He is a nobody.

[Dan916]

He's just practicing being a bench warmer

[ProboscisMonkie]

Someone black in the NFL needs to rip him

Don't think anyone cares he said it, it's his right. It's also everyone else's right to tell him how stupid it sounds coming from him, for the many reasons already said above.

[hublife]

Honestly, he's going to be out of the league soon anyway.

[IsLifeRealLife]

lmao @ SackOrPick trying to make himself relevant again by pulling this type of cuck move.



Dude single handedly destroyed the 49ers future and now he wants to burn it to the ground

[drvillain]

dumb or not, if that's what he believes in, then it's his right. At least he's standing (sitting down) for something he believes in

[primetime32]

He's just practicing for his role as bench warmer behind Blaine Gabbert this season.

[hublife]

dumb or not, if that's what he believes in, then it's his right. At least he's standing (sitting down) for something he believes in

Why wasn't his bitch ass "standing for something he believes in" back in 2013 when he was relevant? Think it might be because he didn't want to lose sponsorship dollars and is only now expressing himself because he fukking sucks and is trying to build a new platform?

Use your critical thought.

[CTSV648HP]

Hey he's exercising his right to be an idiot. The Niners should exercise their right to drop his ass. Keep that bench warm, cuck.

[primetime32]

Honestly, he's going to be out of the league soon anyway.

If he gets cut, which NFL team will want to sign a marginal qb that won't stand for the national anthem? He's ending his own career. The money he could make from playing in the nfl could do more good than this fake "protest"

[jbball92]

Lmao bitchmade
