Sounds like a question for Jusuf. Of course, don't let PapaNurk get wind of you questioning his boy...
Well it does actually. The protest is so disconnected from the stated mission, it has no chance of changing anything. It really is just designed to piss people off as it is not associated with any meaningful plan to change anything. It probably cost Kaepernick his job, which could be expected, but to expect any undefined change to occur is mindless.
Taking a knee is about the most harmless, peaceful form of protest imaginable. Imagine if one of those players was uppity enough to hold a sign, or actually speak? It would be the end of civilization as we know it. barfo
GOOD FUCKING QUESTION. Would ANYONE object to stopping it? Literally anyone? How about we pick a different song every time? Or just play Tubthumper by Chumbawumba.
How about you try answering the question? I'm sure when the anthem plays and you're at home, you're still seated, sipping your beer. Do they stop selling concessions when the anthem is playing? Have we taken the FUCKING WELLS FARGO LOGOS off our flag when it shines on the court?? I don't see ANY of you complaining about that.
Naw, I don't really give a shit about that. I would like to see all these guys get together with their fat wallets, get some help an see if they can really make a difference in the real issue at hand. But they won't, Just pissing off people is easier. Don't need to think that way.
Kaepernick has dug quite deep into his "fat wallet". I'm sure many others have as well. That's generally not as widely publicized as on-field protests are, though.
Don't post stupid things. Because it makes you sound stupid. Colin Kaepernick has donated $700K of his $1 million pledge to 24 different organizations Follow Ian Rapoport ✔@RapSheet While he waits for a job, Colin Kaepernick continues his $1M charity pledge. $700K thru April. He announced the latest orgs benefiting. Colin Kaepernick is currently a free agent, but he’s been busy lately. Since pledging to donate $1 million of his salary to various charities in the wake of his national anthem protests, Kaepernick has donated $700,000 so far. This week, he announced the latest round of organizations that he’ll be donating to: American Friends Service Committee, Assata’s Daughters, Grassroots Leadership, and Helping Oppressed Mothers Endure. Much like the 20 other organizations he’s donated to, they’ll each get a portion of the $100,000 he’s been pledging each month. Kaepernick has been a lightning rod of controversy since he made news with his national anthem protest. The NFL remains divided on whether to sign him -- Giants owner John Mara said he’s been receiving mail from fans who don’t want their team to sign him, while Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had high praise for Kaepernick, saying he’s “a starter in this league.” Kaepernick worked out with the Seahawks this week for a potential job, but it remains to be seen if that will evolve into a signing. Despite the drama surrounding Kaepernick’s future in the NFL, it’s clear the impact he cares about the most is the one he’s making with fans around the country. It’s tangible — from the rally in New York City, to handing out suits outside a parole office, to receiving boxes upon boxes of supportive letters. It’s easy to imagine that his activism will continue even after he’s done donating $1 million of his salary, that even if he won’t kneel during the national anthem anymore, he’ll do what he can to keep the conversation going.
Then why do you say: You openly admit that you don't give a SHIT about the logos on the flag but people kneeling pisses you off. Why do I even converse with that idiocy...?
So has it worked? Did racism get eradicated by all the kneeling? God I hope so, if that doesn't work then I'm fresh out of ideas!
Oh, I see the problem. You can't read entire sentences or understand embedded clauses. This is going to be tougher than I thought.
