Where's NFL Commish Goodell on Kapernick Dissing the National Anthem?

How about we hear from a black man we all respect - Kanye.

Well, something that made at least a little bit of sense would be nice. Probably asking too much from someone without much of a functioning brain, I know.

Of course it is not necessary for someone with a brain and probably wasted on someone like you who is lacking in that department but here your go:

"This is because I'm seeing things happen to people that don't have a voice, people that don't have a platform to talk and have their voices heard and effect change," the quarterback said. "So I'm in a position where I can do that, and I'm going to do that for people that can't."

Ok, I see you are very dense...got it. But I will try anyways...

Your quote has NOTHING to do with your question, as you asked for ANY quote in which he says he is having it "bad", and my quote gave that.

Your quote doesn't preclude that he thinks he is also being abused. Just because he has a voice doesn't mean that he doesn't think he isn't being oppressed.

But your small brain cant comprehend that possibly.

Him being a star athlete all of his life, I doubt he truly understands what it is like to be "oppressed", but that I do not know for sure..

Except that you have yet to provide even a single quote. Except for that minor detail your incomprehensible and factless rant definitely answers the call to provide a quote.

Well done!

Good point. I think we all respect Kanye about as much as we respect folks who write "irregardless" when they mean "regardless".

Gosh...Part B was his quote...

"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

If he is a person of color, then he thinks he is also being oppressed. That is the whole point of this is those few quotes.

Also, irrespective of his rights, I do think he is both egotistical and an idiot to use the forum to express his personal views.

I was 100% against the Iraq war and George Bush but I didn't put up signs at work stating so.

Yeah, too bad you didn't have the guts to do it.

What place do you work where you freely lobby for controversial political causes while on the job?

I am very curious. Please tell.

Kaepernick has a 6 year, $114 million contract. Why doesn't he put his money where his mouth is and spread the wealth and move to Oakland?

No worries.

I work in an elite consulting company where fairly advanced (by business standards) mathematical methods are used to improve the growth and profitability of large corporations. We have between 100 and 500 consultants, all of whom have advanced degrees in quantitative fields from elite universities. And I do "freely lobby for controversial political causes while on the job".

Any other questions?

I see. So only people who give away large portions of their money should be allowed to protest for what they consider to be important causes?

Seems an odd rule.
