Here's his concluding paragraph
The only way to stop this denial of the challenges that black people face is for more athletes and public figures to join him in his efforts and for white Americans to understand the privileges their race grants them. Kaepernick is bold in taking an important step towards drawing attention to the oppression of black people. His vilification by the public makes it very clear what happens when a black athlete steps outside of the bounds of what white America says is OK. |

From where I'm sitting, he's got $20 million of "racial inequality" in his pocket.
It's gonna be a lonely endzone to run a touchdown into without whitey's dollars in it, though.

Quoted:
This is an excerpt from an article published by a (freshman, is also gay, for context the student is white) student in our local highschool. Kaepernick’s position as an NFL player provides a powerful platform from which he can influence the American people. Every week, millions of Americans watch Sunday night football. Using this position to promote equality is a logical step for black athletes. To white Americans, who have constantly lived in a bubble of privilege, the idea of an athlete speaking out on social issues is alien and unnecessary. The extensive public hate he has received demonstrates the very racial inequity he is fighting. White athlete Ryan Lochte, 32 years old, was widely seen as “just a kid” after urinating on a business’s floor and lying about being attacked to cover up damages he and his fellow athletes were responsible for while representing the United States in the 2016 Olympics, yet Kaepernick is called “unpatriotic” for trying to start a serious conversation about racial inequality. Within 24 hours of the first protest, #veteransforkaepernick was trending on twitter. The very veterans that he is allegedly disrespecting are supporting him in exercising the rights they fought to protect. More in next post Yes, he has the right, and yes, veterans will defend his right, but he's still a douche. |

How about this, he needs to keep his political views to himself during work hours. What he does on his own time is different. I've got no problem boycotting the NFL if they want their hired help to pull crap like this.

Which begs the question. If blacks get an advantage for a college education due to skin color is it racist ?

Kaepernick's so stunning and brave. When does he transition to a woman like the other stunning and brave (former) athlete? Will he play in a dress?

Kaepernick is going to be sorry for bringing negative attention to himself when SF cuts his worthless ass and no one picks him up. Lets see who GAF what he has to say when he's out of football or in Canada freezing his ass off.
