[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kaepernick is a person who risked, and probably lost, a great career in order to stand on his principles. That is a great lesson and ethical discussion for young people to have. Recognizing this is not a judgment or approval of his moral character, it is simply stating facts.[/quote] Prior to kneeling, Kaepernick was not a particularly marketable athlete. Post-protest, he landed a "star" level contract with Nike that puts him in the top tier of NFL earners in terms of endorsement money. So while what you say is somewhat true, it's not like he really sacrificed himself economically. [/quote] I don't think that's fair. I think that he took a risk to stand (read: kneel) for his principles. It ended up working out well for him economically. That was not a foregone conclusion. It is particularly cynical to imply that CK did what he did to get endorsement money.[/quote]
