And the reason he's not doing it is because he feels his country is not deserving of respect.

Yeah just disregard the part of my post where people do it today just because it's what we do in sporting events
I mean even schools do their school anthem before games so idk why the forget you guys are trying this angle

Do it

Careful

the whole point of nationalism (on which fascism is based) is group superiority. historically, that group has been based on race.

and no one's obligated to stand for the anthem what is this stuff

On a topic completely unrelated to sportsball kneeling, who here is hyped for the Kurdish independence referendum?

I am hyped for Kurdistan.

communism is 500% better obviously

When you need to mention his race and police brutality in order to put yourself in the moral right

Uh yeah of course, that's why he's doing it in the first place; police brutality towards his race

I said this earlier: I could not give less of a forget about anyone's moral grandstanding. I just want politics right the forget out of sports. If Kuckerforget wants to talk about police brutality during an interview or w/e he's free to do so, just keep that stuff off the field. I don't think that's asking much of people.

If you held Kaepernick to the same principle as you do with every single stufffaced conservative speaker being "silenced" by college campuses then you'd defend his free speech.
Perhaps it has something to do with, you know, his politics and his race

Don't you know, opposing bad things such as racism automatically makes you a far-left commie

sports aren't inherently political

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_and_sports
throughout history sports and politics have overlapped so much that I'd safely say that sports being inherently political has been the name of the game since before the united states was even a thing

stuff even rome was getting in on that action
