Amid loud chants of “USA! USA! USA!,” 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt for the national anthem Sunday in his continuing protest against racial oppression and police brutality. Outside the stadium, vendors sold shirts with Kaepernick’s image in the sights of a rifle scope, and fans tackled a dummy dressed up like the quarterback . Nearby, other fans protested in support of the movement .

So their freedom of speech is "rough treatment".

His spitting on his country is just a "protest".

Hey, Vision Thing......!

"Krapperdick"

Freepers are great at word-puns.

You win the Freepie Award of the Month for the perfect word-pun of this unpatriotic jerk's last name!

(You just forgot to add "Colon" instead of "Colin"), LOL.

Although I wish I could take credit for “krapperdick”, in all honesty, I can’t. I found that gem on Twitter when this whole thing began.

I just hope his wonderful family (who adopted him and gave him his last name) don’t take it personally because we are attacking colon, and not them.

I caught bits and pieces of the game, mainly just to see the score and to gloat at descending colon’s fall from grace on the field.

I didn’t sit down to watch the bills-niners game much less any other game today, but I did check on the score occassionaly, and I enjoyed seeing krapper’s scoreboard demise.

I’m not a member of usaa, but I’m glad they are here to serve our armed forces. I agree: their support of the patriotically wavering nfl is a big mixed message.

The military had recruiting agreements with the NFL, most of the patriotic/military things we have seen at NFL games has been paid advertising by the military. I did not know this until recently. I guess the NFL actually returned part of the money because of questions about how much of what the NFL was doing that was military related was paid advertising and how much was done out of patriotism. Very confusing to me.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/05/19/nfl-returns-723734-paid-honor-military/84592204/

I wonder if USAA became sponsors because of the relationship between the military and NFL.

I do agree it is time for USAA to rethink sponsoring NFL.

Yep.

Congrats to the Bills today.

I look at Kapernick, and how he came to this point, and here is what I see.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the impression of someone who has formed this impression from the perspective of a remote fan of the same sport. I only formed these from a fragment of an article here, a clip of commentary there, and watching only a few games in the process. I have never seen a documentary on him, I don't know if he had a easy or hard childhood, what his family was like, or even what his character was perceived as. I only know that my first impressions of seeing him, when he did that bicep-kissing thing, were very negative, even if I could recognize his physical talent. For additional context, I didn't think he was black, I thought he was latino from the footage or interviews I had seen, but I admit I never followed him closely enough to really know. When I saw him with that afro, I did not remember ever seeing him with his hair like that before, so it made an impression on me with respect to my observation below about his relationship. I don't know if any of this is true, this is only what my impressions are:

"A self-absorbed me-first guy, who had his skill level come to a peak though luck and circumstances and culminate in a Super Bowl experience. He took everything for granted after that, felt he was entitled, felt anything beyond weights wasn't necessary any more, and began a descent. When defenses realized the mental turn he had taken (and how could they not?) they knew how to defend him. He became increasingly frustrated, and began making stupid throws and stupid decisions. And those became habits. From a football perspective, that is where he stands today. He is an athlete with some physical talents that diminish with each passing day, who stopped elevating himself because through his arrogance he thought he had it made . From a personal perspective, he realized how his football fortunes had changed. He was not only irrelevant, he was a burden. His contract made him a salary cap anchor for his team, and it hurt everyone around him. No other team wanted him, at that money, with those bad habits and ingrained ego-centric arrogance, so his team was stuck. Faced with that irrelevance, he entered into a relationship with a beautiful woman, with tools, who knew how to use them as far as manipulation of men, and a brain that was a race-fueled fever swamp of leftist victimhood and resentment. He had never appeared to care about anyone, or any public cause, but he made himself her willing tool, and it gave him a path to relevancy which he enthusiastically embraced. That is my impression of Colin Kapernik, who he is professionally, and how he came to be where he is today."

I have no idea if my impression is accurate, but I do know that when I saw him pay disrespect to the flag, the rest of my opinion seemed on the mark to me.

Sure brings to mind that picture of Obama, dusting off of his hands, saying “My work here is nearly done.”

When it comes down to it, it isn’t Obama, the Dems or Republicans who are poisoning this country, it is Liberalism. Obama, the Dems, and many Republicans are liberals too, so your comment fits.

LOL, that made me laugh...It provokes exactly the same reaction in me when I do that! Your post captured and conveyed it accurately to me!

.
I’ve been a 49er fan all of my life, but they became history the moment he took his first snap in today’s game.

Affirmative action whiners can eat $hit as far as I’m concerned.

The whole league can dry up and blow away and the sooner the better.
