Controversy Erupts After NFL Quarterback Converts To Islam and Refuses To Stand for National Anthem
The conservative treehouse ^ | August 27, 2016 | Sundance

A controversy has erupted today because San Francisco 49er’s Quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand up during the playing of the national anthem.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." ~ Colin Kaepernick

So what exactly is going on. Well, there's a little more to the story than most are willing to accept. The media and the NFL will avoid these discussions like the plague, but what the heck - the Truth Has No Agenda.

During the off-season Colin Kaepernick converted to Islam. Colin Kaepernick is also engaged to Black Lives Matter activist and hip-hop radio personality DJ Nessa Diab. Black Lives Matter as an activist group is synonymous with promotion of authentic Islam.

The NFL is going to be shoving this “tolerance” down our throats and will predictably characterize critics of the Muzzie QB as racists.
The NFL and their players can do whatever they want; they can sit during the national anthem, praise allah, or shout alu ackbar.
The NFL is diversionary programming for the masses. I’ll have to admit that I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the games over the years. But now the that the PC programming is so in your face, I’ve cut back my viewing drastically. I believe that the NFL helps to create or exploits these incidents as a means to create diversion and to create division among the masses for its globalist masters. They do want racial strife and religious conflict; they do seek division and strife as a means of promoting more unrest and the need for government imposed “solutions”
Turn off the NFL.

He’s going to have to do some major tattoo cover ups. Hope it hurts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Kaepernick

“Kaepernick has multiple tattoos. His right arm features a scroll with the Bible verse Psalm 18:39 written on it. Tattooed under the scroll are praying hands with the phrase “To God The Glory” written on them. To the left of both the scroll and praying hands is the word “Faith” written vertically. His left arm features a Christian cross with the words “Heaven Sent” on it referring to Jesus. Written above and below the cross is the phrase “GOD WILL GUIDE ME”. Written to the left and right of the cross is the Bible verse Psalm 27:3. His chest features the phrase “Against All Odds” and artwork around it that represents “inner strength, spiritual growth, and humility”. His back features a mural of angels against demons”

The NFL is tossing it off as his “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”. The only thing that will cause them to take any action is if fans stop adding to their profit line.

So he’s joining a religion that oppresses women gays and infidels

I hope they emigrate to Somalia, a paradise of racial harmony
I feel bad for his parents
Unless of course they are guilty white liberals

He’ll end up as insurance salesman somewhere.

Who would want to buy from him now? Maybe he'll go back to baseball. I'm sure there's a triple-a team somewhere that's desperate for a relief pitcher.

Can you imagine what would have happened to one of Vince Lombardi's players had they refused to stand for the National Anthem?

I don't have to imagine, I know what would have happened. That player would have been escorted off the field, told to undress and never again appear in anything that that had a Green Bay Packers logo on it.

Yeah—Because the NFL was so accepting and tolerant of Tim Tebow.

What has been the reaction of the Niners?

He’s poison to the franchise - will they have the balls to get rid of him.

We don’t want him getting hurt. His contract is guarantee if he gets hurt while playing. If he’s benched the 49ers can cut him at the end of the season.
The NFL could come out in full support of Colin cause the NFL knows their fans can’t give up football. I use to be a supporter. I got tired of supporting murderers, wife beaters, and drunk drivers. Tickets are over priced and the experience of going to a game has nose dived over the decades. I pray that this piece of shit going Muslim and spitting on the country is a big enough slap in the face to fans that they can finally turn away from the NFL juggernaut.

But if a player uses his freedom of expression to say gay marriage is wrong, don't expect the team or the NFL to support them.

Adrian Peterson criticized gay marriage, and was later suspended for disciplining his own son. Related? Maybe, maybe not. But freedom of expression is only tolerated for certain topics.

Just a few weeks ago, the Dallas Cowboys were denied a chance to express their support for murdered police officers.

I've seen a few photos of him. In some early ones, he looks white. Maybe we should start calling these jerks chameleons. Be whatever you want to be to serve your purposes at the time.

This is bizarre. OF COURSE he should be required to stand for the National Anthem. What will happen if some NFLers refuse to wear the pandering pink bows on the day the leaque acknowledges breast cancer victims?

Typical moozlum hater. He hates the family who (poorly) raised him, he hates the country that gave him opportunity and loathes his loser self. What a waste of space and air. May he rot.

The only way the Texans would face the 49ers would be in the Superbowl. This twit doesn’t have the QB talent to make it there this year.
