Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Colin Kaepernick Refuses to Stand for National Anthem

A tax exempt non profit status. This is just amazing along with baseball and willyball oh I meant basketball.

Actually Kap can help the conservative group. He doesn't like racism, that's cool, I don't either but let's look at who's been in power promoting racism. Of course liberals are to stupid to connect the dots.

Saw this on another forum . . .


"So... his father ran off before he knew him, his mother put him up for adoption, a white family raised him as their own and gave him great opportunities and he doesn't like this country"?

I would not have opened this if I knew who the guy is and that he was a football player. It does help explain why I will never watch another pro game again and if it came a vote I would for for all professional sports to be banned.

I left a message at 49er.com. I asked them to fire the POS.

They will of course reply with the noble 1st amendment defense.

I shall counter with the boycott technique.

F the 49ers and the NFL.

I wonder how much of his 14 mil contract this 3rd tier QB donated to his cause.

F*** pro sports. Period.

You'll find that guys like Kapernick, half white and/or raised by white couples often seem to go hyper black for lack of a better term. Probably some issue of guilt or maki g up for a lifetime of not feeling or being perceived as black enough.

When his endorsements start to disappear, he might re-think his position a bit. When you're in the entertainment business and tie your political notions to your livelihood, bad stuff happens to your bank account.

If I were about 30 years younger, I would like to meet his "sister" however.

Hope that doesn't offend him.

Colin Kaepernick, sounds like a proctological examination

Message from a non-oppressed black man to Colin Kaepernick…

By Allen West
August 28, 2016


If there’s one thing I live for, it’s football season, especially college. Saturday night I was enjoying a fantastic game between Charleston Southern University and North Dakota State University. The game went into overtime and ended with the Bison of NDSU winning 24-17. However, as I watched this thrilling game, it was an item on the ESPN news ticker that disturbed me — to which I see a need to respond to this “teachable moment.”

As we reported yesterday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the National Anthem in Friday’s pre-season game against Green Bay because he was protesting “black oppression” in the United States. The Niners went on to lose.

The NFL issued a statement that said players are encouraged but not required to stand for the national anthem. Hmm, this is the same NFL that refused to allow the Dallas Cowboys to wear a helmet decal in honor of the fallen Dallas Police officers gunned down on Thursday July 7th.

This is the same NFL that said nothing when players from the St. Louis Cardinals displayed the false narrative symbol of “hands up, dont shoot” — which we know didn’t happen. I find it rather interesting that the NFL has no issue disrespecting law enforcement officers but only “encourages” players to respect the symbol of our nation, the American flag, and our anthem, the Star Spangled Banner.

However, I would recommend a simple scripture from the wise King Solomon for Mr. Kaepernick, Proverbs 17:28 (NIV): “Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.”

Or, as the old folks down South would say, “best for a stupid person to keep their mouth shut and not open it and let everyone know they are.”

Mr. Kaepernick, a biracial young man adopted and raised by white parents, claims America is oppressing blacks at a time when we have a black, biracial president who was twice elected. We’ve had two black attorneys general and currently have a black secretary of homeland security, along with a black national security advisor. Here in Dallas our police chief, whom I know, is an outstanding black leader. The officer in Milwaukee who shot the armed assailant after issuing an order to drop his weapon was black. Is Mr. Kaepernick following suit and cherry-picking what he terms “oppression?”

First of all, let me clarify to you sir, you are a multi-millionaire “one-percenter” just because you can throw a ball and kiss your biceps. Men like Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Oscar Robertson, Ernie Davis, and Bernard King and Condredge Halloway of my alma mater were athletes who knew of oppression. You sir may certainly have the right to sit upon your “fourth point of contact” when the National Anthem is played but never forget, you live in a nation that has provided you the privilege to have that right.

My story is one I wish to share. My dad was a corporal in the U.S. Army and served during World War II. He was born in 1920 and knew oppression. Yet, when he sat me down on the steps of our home, 651 Kennesaw Ave NE in Atlanta, he shared with me that there was no greater honor or privilege, than to wear the uniform of these United States. Perhaps that ‘s why his first and middle sons, along with his grandson, are all U.S. combat veterans, just like Dad. Herman West Sr. was not a victim, and he raised men who would never allow anyone to suppress or oppress them. Perhaps you should stop trying to make victims and admonish people, black people, to be victors — try it, and you may find that more satisfying than your insidious action and word vomiting.

If you want to know about oppression of blacks in America, past and present, how about you ask Rep. Nancy Pelosi of the San Fran Bay Area about the policies that decimated the black family? Maybe you can cross the Bay over to Oakland and ask Rep. Barbara Lee about the 13 to15 million black babies killed since 1973, and ask her who is Margaret Sanger?

Or perhaps you can ask the two California senators, Boxer and Feinstein, about who doesn’t support better education opportunities for black children in the inner cities — school choice, vouchers, charter schools, home schooling.

Perhaps you didn’t know Barack Obama was the one who cancelled the DC school voucher program for deserving young black children — talk about oppression. Is that something you’re willing to do, or is it just too difficult?

You should look at who’s been controlling the communities and cities where blacks live. This isn’t not about what America has done; it’s about what a certain group, a political party has done. And your somewhat backhanded comment towards our law enforcement officers — well, wonder how many times San Francisco PD has protected you?

Here is the deal young man. My recommendation is that you apologize. Be a stand up fella and admit you made a very stupid comment. Humbly state that you do realize how very special this country is and the opportunities it has afforded you — and many others. You should take that stand and apologize to all of those who are currently serving in our Armed Forces and those veterans who’ve been willing to make that last full measure of devotion. You see, when the National Anthem is played, it has a very special meaning to us — maybe you should take a hiatus and go over to Helmand Province in Afghanistan and spend a week and understand why. Go over and throw a football with the men and women who enable you to earn those millions of dollars.

The American flag has a very touching meaning for those of us for whom it will drape our coffin — as it was for my Dad…and it will be for me. That song defines who we are as a proud and exceptional people. This is a land where so many dream of coming to and earning the title of American. Your actions were shameful, disgusting, despicable and disrespectful.

You do have a right and a freedom of expression. But know, there are consequences to your ignorant action, which is what it was.

When the National Anthem is played, I salute because I am a black man born and raised in the inner city afforded the opportunity for greatness in my own right. May you seek God’s forgiveness and find humility, because we, the people are not going to forget what you did and said.

Very poor American

Read somewhere else that he converted to Islam during the off season. His girlfriend is big in the terrorist BLM group and she is also a Muslim.

Yup.

+1..... Pro Sports are now nothing more than a soap opera for guys. I'll watch a high school football game but that's about it. Screw all the millionaire pro-athletes(?), coaches, managers, trainers, commentators, and such. It's all a grand multi-million dollar circus that only proves that P.T. Barnum was right on when he said; "there's a sucker born every minute". Welcome to the modern American circus/soap opera, folks.

This will cost him endorsements

Could this all be one big ruse to get tossed out of San Fran and keep his contract negotiated money and BLM street cred?

I wouldn't have thought him that smart...

Freedon of speech hommies !!!, good on Kapers but his stance is a little Hypocritical.

The symbolism is strong, just another shift in Power from the whites to Colored folk. Sow process so dont get too alarmed Whiteys.....

Anyone outed this moronic sock-puppet RGinger yet?

Somebody mentioned Stevil..
