The problem is I don’t honestly think Kaepernick is actually trying to make a stand against shit.
He knows he’s about to be cut, and knows that everyone believes Chip is a racist, so he’s just hedging. Now if he gets cut he can try to make it look like he was cut not due to his ability, but due to discrimination against his actions. If he really wanted to make a stand, he’d do this shit in the Regular Season with any team he may be on, not when he’s about to get cut rotting on the bench in the preseason.
He did a peaceful personal protest. Seems like he just wants to kick start a conversation on all the injustice racial minorities are still going through even when people think everyone has freedom in USA. The type of protest he did was peaceful and the Internet is blowing their minds at what he did. Some replied to him violently and some were death threats. He didn’t shut down a freeway, cause a riot, kill anyone, or threaten the lives of police officers.
Rodney Harrison should go on a vacation after what he said though. He’s on tilt now lol.
But as I said before, what does he mean by any of what he said? He didn’t list any specific injustices during his explanation, so what is anyone supposed to go on? It’s hard to go along with your cause when you don’t give details to what exactly your cause is based on or caused by. He’s been in the league for several years, so why now? What brought this on now?
I’m fine with a peaceful protest but again, do it during the season when visibility is much higher and his motives don’t come into question. Because right now I don’t have a lot of reason to believe that there are no ulterior motives to what he did.
ya @Ken34 just got a early Christmas Gift, really any other fan of any NFC team. This was a team that was all around well built and now have to depend on Shawn Hill or go and trade for someone. I feel bad for all Vikes fans.
Also if it’s clear that Osweiler was never resigning, then they should’ve been out looking at other QB options instead of getting left with their pants down.
