[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Bet Kap and his taking a knee is looking a lot less controversial to you now.[/quote]

He offended American people.  No one called for him to be jailed, etc.  He made a choice because it was important to him.  In so doing, he was thumbing his nose at a lot of people who do honor the flag.  
He made a choice.  Maybe, if he had still been a great quarterback, things would have gone differently for him.  However, his actions offended a lot of fans and gave a lot of people the impression that he is not patriotic.  Ultimately, the NFL owners made a business decision.

Most people do not enjoy political activism during football games.  [/quote]

So much to unpack.
- He offended American people. I’m American and I wasn’t offended. What exactly is that statement supposed to mean? I’m sure it offended people when women wanted the right to vote.  I’m genuinely confused how certain people can say things that offend people everyday to gain power or promote their business  - think the President, Bill O’Reilly, etc. and it’s okay but if someone does so for social change oh no “they offended American people”.   
- How was he thumbing his nose and people that do honor the flag?  Since honoring the flag should include equality for all, how are YOU honoring the flag to make sure police brutality stops?  I would think a fair and just America should be your goal as well?  Why is honoring the flag and fighting racism mutually exclusive in your eyes? 
- If politics and football don’t mix, why did high level government person use this at a campaign rally er public appearance to score points?  Again, I keep asking, where is the right time and the right place and right way to get black lives to matter.  How do you get people to feel like it is an American issue?
