fredfukkinbear kikkinnigass your name says it all as to why you would call him fake. because he made ppl uncomfortable about the existence of this country. players didn't even come out for the anthem until 2011 when military started paying the nfl to look more patriotic how fake is that smh.
My name doesn't say jack fucking shit, but it is rather presumptuous of you to think so. This is the exact kind of attitude that's going to keep fucking you in the ass until you get it through your head. The National Anthem was being played/sang at Baseball games as far back as 1918, during the war, to improve morale and unite Americans. NFL players started coming out before the anthem in 2009, not 2011. My issue with this clown is that he said he was "trying to bring awareness to the issue of oppression". As if we haven't had racial issues and claims shoved in our faces almost nonstop for the last 20 fucking years or more. The majority of oppression you or any other black man or woman faces is self manufactured. Black President, black lawyers, doctors, ect. ect. Just proof that if you have the motivation to get an education and make something of yourself, you can do or be just about anything you want. Save all that shuck n' jive bullshit for your brothers that think like you do. He quit his protest when he realized it was hurting his chances of getting on another team. That's as fake as it gets.
+Rey Chavez There you go, assuming shit again. You don't know jack shit about me brother, so stop posing. Blacks enslaved their own people and owned black slaves in America. You'd think blacks were the only people that were subject to slavery? Hell no dude... slavery has been around long before. You've never been a slave, and you've never known anyone that WAS a slave, so get the fuck over it already. Stop your God damn crying about it and quit trying to play it off as if you're a victim. Far too many brothers out there actually making a real life for themselves in this day and age, so pull your fucking pants up and do what needs to be done to succeed. You're not owed anything, so work for it like everyone else.
And there you go assuming that myself or other black ppl don't work hard. Or want & expect handouts. Your IQ is pretty low for you to have to cuss to try and get a point across. lol you're the guy that sits on social media all day to comment about black ppl and how they should live their lives. You have no say in what black ppl should do in life.
The problem I had with Kap's 'protest', I could make it out to him protesting anything I wanted in the US. It was a poorly designed protest. I could say he was against kittens in the US. Nothing of what he did said what he was protesting for, when you have to explain your protest, its a failure of a protest. Second, he was doing it on their (the owners) time, not his time. ITs a reflection of the team, a distraction, and cost them money for what? He protested over the treatment of blacks, but the discussion was directed at the military, so again, his protest failed. Third, never thought he was a great QB even back in 2012 and thought it was a mistake for the 49ers to trade Alex Smith.
Deon not sounding to bright with that comment! He doesn't owe anybody anything at all for being an advocate for justice! How can ppl even point there finger at him for being what this country supposed to stand for?? Hypocrisy seems two fold here.
Paperdick ruined his own career. If he had simply played football and left his personal issues out of the game, he could have done so much better and he wouldn't be facing the situation he is now.
You're right he should have ignored systematic racism, and stood for that racist national anthem for the love of money. 90% of the country never even heard the full song but say they're patriots. I've learned racist minded people hate the facts, don't even mention actual numbers or stats.
and? $ rules. but spodas haven't figured that out yet. Thats why a mall gets destroyed after the neighborhood turns spoda. too much loitering, violence, and thievery. case in point greenspoint mall in houston. now it's calles gunspoint mall. test scores tell it all and fatherless children. playas and ballas produce no shot callas. JS
Send a letter?????????? A letter for what? He took a stand and now you want him to go with his hat in his hand begging? This situation did exactly what Colin intended, put racism on front street. They don't go half as hard on players who have done things ten times worse than not standing for a damn song.
Hat in hand begging? Typical idiotic defeated amateur mindset. Use intelligence. Speak to businessmen like a businessman! He's got an agenda that's built on overblown exaggerations...liberalism is a mental disease!
Hello, Your statement about “a damned song”, shows a rather prejudiced viewpoint in itself. You must have some interest in team sports, if you are posting your thoughts here. How many games can a team win without a coach to help the players work together, rather than everyone on the field chasing after the quarterback? A nation that does not have a coach, or one that the citizens will not work with, will suffer greatly. Your opinions are your opinions, shaped by your life and associations with other people. If this nation, with its failures and flaws since its inception is still the promised land to more people from all around the world than any other place. From your photo, I would think that you were born after the dangerous work of Rosa Parks, Dr. King, and all of the citizens, both black and white who saw a serious injustice that needed urgent care. You have also seen things that you honestly believe need fixing. I remember a black man walking into a Kentucky gas station/ store in 1969. He was reminded to take his bottle of beer to the back room to drink it. That made a big impression. Your comment about bringing racism to Front Street is a reminder about pot holes that need to be patched. Front Street is a two way street. Standing on the curb and complaining about cars being torn apart, will not help the cars. When a person has the opportunity to toss a shovel of gravel into the worst holes, others will follow the example. These are the actions that our children need to see before Front Street will smooth out. The young of all species, learn important things from both parents if they are there to guide and correct their offspring. You stated that Collin took a stand. What is new about this nation having divisions along racial, religious, social, and financial lines? Everyone knows about the problems. What can a person do to help mend things? We can look at another person and say hello, rather than turning your head. We can raise our children to be responsible and respectful. Being a thug or tomcat, is not anything but a short cut to the morgue. Our multimillionaire jocks are in a position to make a lasting difference in our nation. They can do things to reach out to kids in the places where you can die for wearing the wrong color shirt. The athletes earn millions endorsing clothing and shoes that kids either kill or die for. What is wrong with some of those millions going back to fund extra classes in schools to prepare the kids to take the better path? Establish programs to rehabilitate houses with the citizens of the neighborhood learning to do as much of the work as possible, and being able to continue to work in a trade. Fund athletic leagues where the cops and kids can learn that the other side is not really that bad. Ideally either the kids or cops can razz each other about a bad throw to first, or not catching a long pass in the end zone. Kneeling in protest will likely set racial progress back, rather that moving it forward.
Racism has been out there already for yeats,but we see nothing on any of the news channels about any celebs\athletes better yet plain folk out there doing anything😵 but he decides to use the"NFL", his work place to make a statement. Ummm👀 you dont do that on other ppl's time let alone who's paying you your Huge Checks. Ppl are off work on the damn weekends to watch their sports whether football\baseball\hockey etc. Need to make a political statement call up the news stations and get your ass on tv that way. Leave everyone's personal time alone👍
Colin is a true hero. He knew what could happen, he chose to DO THE RIGHT THING!!! He stood by Americans who are disrespected by the authorities. Shameful that ALL players on all teams did not have his courage.
Kap throw 16 TD's and 4 int's on a horrible team and is been blackballed by the NFL Andrew Luck the past few years are declining but everyone keep praising him for been average at best but point the finger at everything but his play stfu and give Kap a chance
Deon he was 16 and 4. That ratio IS one of the BEST in the league period. You cant even name his receiving core. Forget naming 32 better. Honestly name 12. cant do it. Its past time for honest convo
The defense carried them. They'd already been in the NFC championship with Alex Smith. Vernon Davis had the record for most touchdowns in a season by a tight end at the time. He had Randy Moss in the Superbowl red zone. Patrick Willis and Navarro bowman. Dante whither. They were solid.
Deion loves things. (White man's things) If Colin can withstand the many trials and tribulations he msy have to face he will be alright. He can be more of a sucess if black people would get behind him and support him. He did the right thing. You have to stand up, Like MLK once said. Can't no man ride your back unless it is bent. May the Good Lord Bless and Keep Colin .
Fast forward to coach prime leaving JSU & all the momentum being sucked out of the SWAC with his departure to a PWI. It's a better opportunity they say. Funds were misappropriated they say. He was right to leave, he's only one man they say.
Listen to the first few lines Dion said. He loves the fact that he stood up for injustices, but needs to understand their are repercussions. That is true i cant disagree with that. But take a second and ask yourself, what kinda of system would PUNISH someone for using their CONSTITUTIONAL rights to highlight injustices??? what is the mindset of people who rather have a career backup QB over a pro bowl playoff QB? What is making this man so unmarketable? Simply what Dion said in the opening line....He stood for something.
when Colin Kaepernick was doing his protest I was behind them I'm still behind them I feel that he was protesting a legit reason and I don't get how people get mad over a piece of material over human life. having said that he should have known what was going to happen to him. I don't think teams want to pick them up because you're racist I just don't think they want The Unwanted attention.
Deion is DEAD wrong about Kap.....he doesn't need to send no damn letter and apologize to Massa! What have the owners had to say about the message that Kap was trying to make? Along with everybody else not talking about the reason and message.
I am an American veteran who has fought for the American way of life in freedom and our country was founded on the freedom of speech and I was not happy with what Colin Kaepernik did but. He did practice in his freedom of speech and the people didn't like it. All I can say is in war when a bullet misses you by an m.m all the speeches of America the free is not on your mind. But the only thing that is is surviving. I don't agree with what Colin Kaepernik did. But I did fight for the American flag and way of life in freedom. Please let us continue to live in freedom and our country and American Flag. May God continue to Bless America and it's citizens m
Deion Sanders is much more rational than most sportscasters addressing the Colin Kaepernick situation but he still misses the point. Kaepernick has no right to disrupt his workplace and expect to keep his highly paid job. Aside from the issue of Kaepernick's inappropriate behavior on the field his statements are bizarre and incoherent.
@@MsLoloKnows Yes he certainly does. However, he does not have a right to protest in his workplace and keep his job. Your employer does not have to tolerate protest. My point is very specific, it has nothing to do with whether he is correct about what he is protesting. Just to complete my argument, he does not have the right to kneel in support of the police in the workplace either. He is there to play football which by the way is a game for morons. I have no sympathy for the NFL either. I am only explaining that free speech does not apply in the workplace.
He took a stance in a perfect time in his life! he's loaded with money and his career was already dimming so he used the last of the lime light he still had to put light on real issues... i don't even think he cares about football soo much anymore
And did it in a way which was stupid. His protest was done in a way where he had to explain what he was doing. I could interpret his kneeling as many things, all of which are issues which are a problem in the US. The biggest failure was he failed to take into account how many might view his protest, which was as a slap in the face for every soldier or person who gave their life for the flag from the revolutionary soldier to today. The way he protested derailed the issue which makes him stupid and his protest a failure.
rizon72 a slap in the face to soldiers who gave their lives for a flag? For a flag that represents the oppression of his people? What about the lives of the people who didnt give away their lives but were cut down in the prime of it by some one representing that flag, who was supposed to be upholding the law? Are you saying that He should have more loyalty for someone holding up a flag that from where I'm standing; from where he's standing.. stands for oppression over people who he has an identity connection with? People who oppressed no-one and whose only crime was the color of their skin? I dont think the "way he protested" derailed anything besides complacency in my people. You have ill- will toward him because of his protest which was a stand for justice... Congratulations, you're a racist.
rizon72 People want to stay blind to the problems in America when those problems don't directly affect them.... it has become a natural thing for people to oppose, ignore, or be offended by all who seek to startle or change the status quo... His underlying message is very clear... we can play all these games to avoid the reality we live in this country but the truth is undeniable.... Maintain focus on the clear message, we have to try and solve problems one at a time(Assuming you even care about his message in the first place).
Sun, I see you failed to see what I said and picked out only what you wanted to see. The flag represents so much more than what you 'wish' it to be for others and there is the problem. My only thought about him was he isn't an elite QB, never thought of him that way like so many who were swayed by the media.
Not surprised with Deon's straddling the fence. He's the same man who openly supported the child molester, Bishop Eddie Long, and eulogized him as a great man and mentor. Deon was all over the place then as he is now.
And some of the things has Tony Romo ever made it to the Superbowl how many quarterbacks have made it to the Superbowl with in their third year in the NFL.. And you look at every team you were on if you made it to the Superbowl look at your quarterback Steve Young top-ranked Hall of Famer Troy Aikman top-ranked Hall of Famer and who was your quarterback at Atlanta that's why you left Atlanta to get a ring
Colin damn the letter and stand for those who can't. This is a major matter that can't be reduced to a few dollars. If you never play again thanks for standing up.
I think Deion is not correct because Kap's jersey was the highest selling jersey in the league while he was kneeling. Deion also made comments about Romo but hold on. I had a back injury once and that shit was paralyzing pain. I can't believe that Romo would want to come back after that injury.
What? Your boss' boss tells you to concentrate on you are paid to do? You ignore that. Then, after you quit one job. Allow yourself to lose a chance at 2 other jobs. Then, refuse another teams offer to possibly start. Other teams will not nor, should they take him serious.
Colin isn't worth the trouble, hes a decent QB. No more, I wouldn't sign him.The NFL owners and GM's have the right to not sign him as well. This is a non issue, Colin screwed up, and wont get a second chance. Too bad for him, hes made plenty of money, he should enjoy it.
Who cares if people turn their channels. He's fighting for the unjustly mistreatment of blacks and then you get this clown to go behind him and try to undo Colin's stance.
The problem with Kap's year where they went to the SB, defenses had yet to figure him out, or running QBs out. Fast forward and defenses have figured it out. and the problem is Kap hasn't figured that out. He's still thinking its 2012. Its 2017 and he hasn't shown an ability to step up his game.
I didn't watch nearly as much football last year as I normally have in past years. I live in Canada and even then I don't respect a league that won't punish athletes for being unpatriotic. Players should be fined and suspended for disrespecting the national anthem. There is no reason the league should even have to think twice about it. The anthem is not just a symbol of pride and freedom but it also brings Americans together. All that Kapernick did was divide Americans, cost the NFL to lose a huge chunk of it's fan base and revenue. Not to mention he was clearly distracted and he played like absolute garbage as a result.
Repercussions for what Deion? You talk about the nfl losing money but there going to lose alot of money not signing him cause black people send alot of $ on the nfl.
kaepernik is one of the top quarterbacks if he played in canada. I want to see how many players will sit for the anthem, if this activitism is so important for blacks, prove it. I want to see some white players support there brothers by not standing. prove your loyalty. If it so important what kaepernik did, do it again this year, prove it. Be a man prove it.
After reading the comments on this site, one thing is clear. Most people are incapable of listening. More than that it is evident that most of the people voicing their opinions are not well educated. Inability to listen or think makes it difficult to progress through life. In the big picture the NFL is not important. Being a responsible adult in service to family, friends, and community should be the focus. Too much energy and resources are being wasted on a relatively insignificant issue. Learning to spell would be a better investment for the stupos I see weighing in here. Love
Deion would like to play against Kapernick to pad his interception stats . Harbaugh isn't going to trash a former player ,as a coach it would make him look bad. I still say BOYCOTT the NFL let players share in REVENUE LOSS maybe that will help resolve the issue .
The fact is Keap should be the back up QB at the Cowboys it makes the most sense Romo leaves, Dak is the starter and u have Keap who can play if the pieces around him are good , he's an average QB but give him a decent O line and he can win u enough games to get you to the playoffs
If he goes to the cowboys he needs to make a deal where he plays atleast 2 games a year, on a 3 year deal that will show case him and then Jerry can trade him in his last year to a team that needs a QB and he can become a starter again WIN WIN for everyone.
SuperJohn12354 nice gesture but that's too much like right..he will be persecuted because of his courage to speak for those who can't.. but I dnt think he really cares about playing in such a racist league anymore.. y would he..
All you black football fans, have only yourselves to blame, making these owners richer and you know, how they treat and feel about their black players and blacks in general. But you still go spend your money, SMH!
Rey, Tambrajo, Justin, & all the rest in the same mode as Collin K. This country is so racial, that WE elected an African American as President! This terrible country has went from having legal slaves to the point we're at now in the neighborhood of 200 years! A black man with ambition, and a goal can reach this goal, regardless of what it is with just a bit of work. In fact, the Black man has a better opportunity than a white man with the same goal. Collin Kaepernick had a contract for over 100 million dollars, yes, that's million with an "M"! No other country in the world offers the opportunity for a Black person to succeed at whatever they want. If Colin, and obviously you folks mentioned, don't like this country and it's opportunities, pack your bags and move to one that offers more to you! *Hint-- There isn't one! NOT ONE!
So apparently if you dislike Kaepernick as a player, you're a racist. If you dislike the actions or statements of Kaepernick, you're a racist. However, if you dislike Tom Brady, you're just ignorant about the game. The NFL owners, just like any other industry, have every right to avoid a controversial employee. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with his impact on their financial health. This is America. You want to protest, then protest to your hearts content, but don't cry if you suffer some consequences for your action. Put on your big boy pants and take it like a man.
Ozark Ed if u cnt respect his protest then yes u probably are a racist.. who gives a fuck if u are a fan of his..but if u heard y he was refusing to stand (for a racist ass song intended for whites only ),and u couldn't respect that then yeah u probably are racist.. cause if u knew what really was going on around the country to the Black American people of all ages and sex and u have no problem with it then u are a racist.. and u r probably one of them who try to justify the brutality by criminalizing the suspect if possible.. by bringing up a marijuana charge he was convicted for several years prior or some shit like that.. or he or she was resisting arrest and Instead of following training n guidelines they use deadly force for resisting arrest.. yeah dats u.n yeah u a fuckin racist.. but probably scared to death of any black man u come across with his head held high..just like majority of these bitch ass cops.. racist and even more afraid.. not to mention envious of our body that yo white women cnt go without from yo momma to yo daughter ..and of course yo wife.. probably fantasize about a big thick long black cock that can actually reach her walls n make her cum for a change.. jealous that yo cursed skin completion can't even handle the rays from the sunlight.. u are a fuckin cave man who shared yo cave with yo filthy ass swine beside u..pure evil beings..known for nothing but treachery and trickery and dishonesty.. but the true isrealites are God's chosen ones.. that's y y'all tried to keep that knowledge from us..but the truth always surfaces no matter how long it takes.. n just like your savage ancestors did then, u do now tryna keep us in servitude and kill us and keep us blind..but more n more of us are waking up every day and eventually u won't be able to control us with your religions and mind control.. then the tables will turn and Gods chosen people will rule,and u savages will return to your natural state hiding from the sunlight in caves n shit.. living like animals like Tarzan..
Really Deion? you applaud Kap for stepping up against the MAN? Have you experienced this system wide racism? The System that's held black men down? Have you been held down? If not..Why not you're black right? l used to respect you
😂 how is he goin to say romo might hav it when colin actually has it bein so young an takin a team to the superbowl. when has a romo team went that far?
Colin Kaepernick is not that good. Alex Smith got screwed in San Francisco and should have never lost his job. The Jim Harbaugh mistake comes full circle.
I can't stand how you feel about Deion Sanders but take a moment and listen to what he's saying I don't like what he's saying to but he's pointing out points of view he's not saying that that what he did was wrong he just pointing out points of you and what I believe he thinks is let's get over that let's get back on the field let's get paid you still can stand for what you stand for but I respect your comment I understand what you're saying towards him he could have chose a better way to say it or better way to explain it or stood and said I support him by great means and I think that's why you're not feeling that so I don't know how to explain that for you
Unsurprisingly just like everything else! It's about the money -not moral but money! If the fans aren't spending or watching (revenue) then nothing else matters! Capitalism at it's finest! Damn if you do damn if you don't. Me personally boycotting is my stance! This country has suffered more than long enough because of social injustices & racism! Enough is enough!! #boycott4kaepernick2017
It's not about what he is costing NFL owners, Colon is representing the "New Elites" Think about motives, they want to tear down monuments and get blacks fighting whites. But who would want that? Why can't anyone see the Elites want them down, the statues were Elites who by their wealth felt they should be allowed the liberty to own people. The Elites will rise again when people forget, globalization and depopulation is the plan. There will only be two sets of people, not race driven, The Elites wealthy and powerful and the worker slaves to the Elites. It's about Genocide of white middle class and black middle class, anyone who will fight them.
He doesn't have to write an apology to anybody especially the owners, he just exposed these owners for who they are.
fredfukkinbear kikkinnigass your name says it all as to why you would call him fake. because he made ppl uncomfortable about the existence of this country. players didn't even come out for the anthem until 2011 when military started paying the nfl to look more patriotic how fake is that smh.

Kap averaged over a 90 rating his last two seasons. He has good numbers.
Paperdick ruined his own career. If he had simply played football and left his personal issues out of the game, he could have done so much better and he wouldn't be facing the situation he is now.
he didn't want to stand so what and some owners/coaches/players have voiced their opinion on politics before and made controversy
You're right he should have ignored systematic racism, and stood for that racist national anthem for the love of money. 90% of the country never even heard the full song but say they're patriots. I've learned racist minded people hate the facts, don't even mention actual numbers or stats.

James Cowan are you ready to meet up yet....
Send a letter?????????? A letter for what? He took a stand and now you want him to go with his hat in his hand begging? This situation did exactly what Colin intended, put racism on front street. They don't go half as hard on players who have done things ten times worse than not standing for a damn song.
Hat in hand begging? Typical idiotic defeated amateur mindset. Use intelligence. Speak to businessmen like a businessman!

Hello,
Your statement about “a damned song”, shows a rather prejudiced viewpoint in itself. You must have some interest in team sports, if you are posting your thoughts here. How many games can a team win without a coach to help the players work together, rather than everyone on the field chasing after the quarterback? A nation that does not have a coach, or one that the citizens will not work with, will suffer greatly.
Your opinions are your opinions, shaped by your life and associations with other people. If this nation, with its failures and flaws since its inception is still the promised land to more people from all around the world than any other place.
From your photo, I would think that you were born after the dangerous work of Rosa Parks, Dr. King, and all of the citizens, both black and white who saw a serious injustice that needed urgent care. You have also seen things that you honestly believe need fixing. I remember a black man walking into a Kentucky gas station/ store in 1969. He was reminded to take his bottle of beer to the back room to drink it. That made a big impression.
Your comment about bringing racism to Front Street is a reminder about pot holes that need to be patched. Front Street is a two way street. Standing on the curb and complaining about cars being torn apart, will not help the cars. When a person has the opportunity to toss a shovel of gravel into the worst holes, others will follow the example. These are the actions that our children need to see before Front Street will smooth out.
The young of all species, learn important things from both parents if they are there to guide and correct their offspring. You stated that Collin took a stand. What is new about this nation having divisions along racial, religious, social, and financial lines? Everyone knows about the problems. What can a person do to help mend things? We can look at another person and say hello, rather than turning your head. We can raise our children to be responsible and respectful.

Our multimillionaire jocks are in a position to make a lasting difference in our nation. They can do things to reach out to kids in the places where you can die for wearing the wrong color shirt. The athletes earn millions endorsing clothing and shoes that kids either kill or die for.
What is wrong with some of those millions going back to fund extra classes in schools to prepare the kids to take the better path? Establish programs to rehabilitate houses with the citizens of the neighborhood learning to do as much of the work as possible, and being able to continue to work in a trade. Fund athletic leagues where the cops and kids can learn that the other side is not really that bad. Ideally either the kids or cops can razz each other about a bad throw to first, or not catching a long pass in the end zone. Kneeling in protest will likely set racial progress back, rather that moving it forward.
Conservatism is a mental illness.

Muhammad Ali took his lumps and he stood. Glory be to God for him doing so
Colin is a true hero. He knew what could happen, he chose to DO THE RIGHT THING!!! He stood by Americans who are disrespected by the authorities. Shameful that ALL players on all teams did not have his courage.
He didn't say a letter of apology ; he said letter of explanation.
Prime "write a letter to NFL teams"...C'mon dawg
LOL ! 😂😂😂😂
I wouldn't write nothing, let them owners loose money until we are treated equal!!!!! I support him 100%
did George Washington write the British an apology letter for doing what he did NO, then why should Colin Kap. have to??
James Walker also did Rosa Parks wrote one to Jim Crow laws for why she she not gonna sit in the back of the bus.
Kap throw 16 TD's and 4 int's on a horrible team and is been blackballed by the NFL Andrew Luck the past few years are declining but everyone keep praising him for been average at best but point the finger at everything but his play stfu and give Kap a chance
Deon he was 16 and 4. That ratio IS one of the BEST in the league period.
You cant even name his receiving core. Forget naming 32 better. Honestly name 12.
cant do it. Its past time for honest convo
The defense carried them. They'd already been in the NFC championship with Alex Smith. Vernon Davis had the record for most touchdowns in a season by a tight end at the time. He had Randy Moss in the Superbowl red zone. Patrick Willis and Navarro bowman. Dante whither. They were solid.
Deion loves things. (White man's things) If Colin can withstand the many trials and tribulations he msy have to face he will be alright. He can be more of a sucess if black people would get behind him and support him. He did the right thing. You have to stand up, Like MLK once said. Can't no man ride your back unless it is bent. May the Good Lord Bless and Keep Colin .
Deion's celebrations were not a white man thing.
Fast forward to coach prime leaving JSU & all the momentum being sucked out of the SWAC with his departure to a PWI. It's a better opportunity they say. Funds were misappropriated they say. He was right to leave, he's only one man they say.
Listen to the first few lines Dion said. He loves the fact that he stood up for injustices, but needs to understand their are repercussions. That is true i cant disagree with that. But take a second and ask yourself, what kinda of system would PUNISH someone for using their CONSTITUTIONAL rights to highlight injustices??? what is the mindset of people who rather have a career backup QB over a pro bowl playoff QB? What is making this man so unmarketable? Simply what Dion said in the opening line....He stood for something.
Day Dreamyn and wonder y is it repercussions for standing for injustices..
when Colin Kaepernick was doing his protest I was behind them I'm still behind them I feel that he was protesting a legit reason and I don't get how people get mad over a piece of material over human life. having said that he should have known what was going to happen to him. I don't think teams want to pick them up because you're racist I just don't think they want The Unwanted attention.
Deion is DEAD wrong about Kap.....he doesn't need to send no damn letter and apologize to Massa! What have the owners had to say about the message that Kap was trying to make? Along with everybody else not talking about the reason and message.
Write a letter? That sounds like bowing down, getting on a knee begging. I agree with Deion on Kaps athletic ability though. He should be in the NFL.
32 letters you must be absurd . Lost respect for a legend this wild .
I am an American veteran who has fought for the American way of life in freedom and our country was founded on the freedom of speech and I was not happy with what Colin Kaepernik did but. He did practice in his freedom of speech and the people didn't like it. All I can say is in war when a bullet misses you by an m.m all the speeches of America the free is not on your mind. But the only thing that is is surviving. I don't agree with what Colin Kaepernik did. But I did fight for the American flag and way of life in freedom. Please let us continue to live in freedom and our country and American Flag. May God continue to Bless America and it's citizens

why doesnt deion have his own show (NFL gameday prime doesnt count)
He's comfortable working under whites like most blacks.
Deion Sanders is much more rational than most sportscasters addressing the Colin Kaepernick situation but he still misses the point. Kaepernick has no right to disrupt his workplace and expect to keep his highly paid job. Aside from the issue of Kaepernick's inappropriate behavior on the field his statements are bizarre and incoherent.
Colin had every right to protest wtf
@@MsLoloKnows Yes he certainly does. However, he does not have a right to protest in his workplace and keep his job. Your employer does not have to tolerate protest. My point is very specific, it has nothing to do with whether he is correct about what he is protesting. Just to complete my argument, he does not have the right to kneel in support of the police in the workplace either. He is there to play football which by the way is a game for morons. I have no sympathy for the NFL either. I am only explaining that free speech does not apply in the workplace.
How many NFL television viewers at home, or owners for that matter, actually stand up during the National Anthem?
Deion Sanders was somewhat of a rebel in his day, his beefs we're not as serious as this, I steal thought he should have had Kaepernick back.
Deion, you have officially joined the likes of Ray Lewis....SMGDH
He took a stance in a perfect time in his life! he's loaded with money and his career was already dimming so he used the last of the lime light he still had to put light on real issues... i don't even think he cares about football soo much anymore
And did it in a way which was stupid. His protest was done in a way where he had to explain what he was doing. I could interpret his kneeling as many things, all of which are issues which are a problem in the US. The biggest failure was he failed to take into account how many might view his protest, which was as a slap in the face for every soldier or person who gave their life for the flag from the revolutionary soldier to today. The way he protested derailed the issue which makes him stupid and his protest a failure.
so why did he stand and cry for the national anthem when the 69ers were in the super bowl. misbahavin spodas always in a ruckus wit da police. JS
rizon72
a slap in the face to soldiers who gave their lives for a flag? For a flag that represents the oppression of his people? What about the lives of the people who didnt give away their lives but were cut down in the prime of it by some one representing that flag, who was supposed to be upholding the law? Are you saying that He should have more loyalty for someone holding up a flag that from where I'm standing; from where he's standing.. stands for oppression over people who he has an identity connection with? People who oppressed no-one and whose only crime was the color of their skin?
I dont think the "way he protested" derailed anything besides complacency in my people. You have ill- will toward him because of his protest which was a stand for justice... Congratulations, you're a racist.
rizon72 People want to stay blind to the problems in America when those problems don't directly affect them.... it has become a natural thing for people to oppose, ignore, or be offended by all who seek to startle or change the status quo... His underlying message is very clear... we can play all these games to avoid the reality we live in this country but the truth is undeniable.... Maintain focus on the clear message, we have to try and solve problems one at a time(Assuming you even care about his message in the first place).
Sun, I see you failed to see what I said and picked out only what you wanted to see. The flag represents so much more than what you 'wish' it to be for others and there is the problem. My only thought about him was he isn't an elite QB, never thought of him that way like so many who were swayed by the media.
Welcome to America Kaeperdick...u are done. You may have freedom of speech but so does the rest of us. America has spoken.
Not surprised with Deon's straddling the fence. He's the same man who openly supported the child molester, Bishop Eddie Long, and eulogized him as a great man and mentor. Deon was all over the place then as he is now.
If Colin was on a good defensive team like the broncos , they would win super bowl.
Dr. Umar brought me here.
If the owners and fans that disagree with him on his stance need a history lesson and reality check
Colin, is a top 15 Qb. His overall ability rushing and passing. Is one of the best in the league.
NIGGA U WAS WRONG
colin has really exposed how much racism really still does exist and the shit is so fucking sad
YES KAP!!! For the love of GOD,,, do not voice your opinion.... This isn't Canada?? You can't just stand up for the voiceless...
And some of the things has Tony Romo ever made it to the Superbowl how many quarterbacks have made it to the Superbowl with in their third year in the NFL.. And you look at every team you were on if you made it to the Superbowl look at your quarterback Steve Young top-ranked Hall of Famer Troy Aikman top-ranked Hall of Famer and who was your quarterback at Atlanta that's why you left Atlanta to get a ring
what the hell is Deion talking about?
Colin damn the letter and stand for those who can't. This is a major matter that can't be reduced to a few dollars. If you never play again thanks for standing up.
I don't always agree with Sanders but I think he nailed it on all of these issues. Great pod cast! #Sanders #livinglegend!
David Harden I wonder y u agree..
I think Deion is not correct because Kap's jersey was the highest selling jersey in the league while he was kneeling. Deion also made comments about Romo but hold on. I had a back injury once and that shit was paralyzing pain. I can't believe that Romo would want to come back after that injury.
What? Your boss' boss tells you to concentrate on you are paid to do? You ignore that. Then, after you quit one job. Allow yourself to lose a chance at 2 other jobs. Then, refuse another teams offer to possibly start. Other teams will not nor, should they take him serious.
Colin isn't worth the trouble, hes a decent QB. No more, I wouldn't sign him.The NFL owners and GM's have the right to not sign him as well. This is a non issue, Colin screwed up, and wont get a second chance. Too bad for him, hes made plenty of money, he should enjoy it.
He doesn't have to be a kiss ass to those owner, by writing a letter, I support his decision.
He basically saying beg for a job from the slave master's billionaire children
kaepernick if you don't love this country leave it. Your day has come and gone and your
judgement impaired.
He doesnt need to explain nothing to those Hateful money grubbers!
Who cares if people turn their channels. He's fighting for the unjustly mistreatment of blacks and then you get this clown to go behind him and try to undo Colin's stance.
The problem with Kap's year where they went to the SB, defenses had yet to figure him out, or running QBs out. Fast forward and defenses have figured it out. and the problem is Kap hasn't figured that out. He's still thinking its 2012. Its 2017 and he hasn't shown an ability to step up his game.
rizon72 r u stupid or blind
I didn't watch nearly as much football last year as I normally have in past years. I live in Canada and even then I don't respect a league that won't punish athletes for being unpatriotic. Players should be fined and suspended for disrespecting the national anthem. There is no reason the league should even have to think twice about it. The anthem is not just a symbol of pride and freedom but it also brings Americans together. All that Kapernick did was divide Americans, cost the NFL to lose a huge chunk of it's fan base and revenue. Not to mention he was clearly distracted and he played like absolute garbage as a result.
i dont wacth football anymore becasue not what he did but how the NLF done by not allowing to play when his better then most players
The issue is not about whether he plays good, the issue is that no coach wants kapernick to distract their locker room with krap instead of football!
you think if tom brady done something like that...wonder what would happen
That's horrid advice Deion. Kap did what he felt was right in a peaceful silent way. He owes not one of the NFL owners an apology.
Prime Time doing a solid job filling in for Rich.
Dak is TRASH. We wish to GOD, Romo was allowed to play after he became healthy
This is saying a lot about our society.
Repercussions for what Deion? You talk about the nfl losing money but there going to lose alot of money not signing him cause black people send alot of $ on the nfl.
He is having to suffer b/c people like DS haven't stood up for him. DS hasn't stood up for me! Shame on him.
JSU either all business. Although Prime had it in his hands to change up the entire SWAC 🙌🏽
kaepernik is one of the top quarterbacks if he played in canada. I want to see how many players will sit for the anthem, if this activitism is so important for blacks, prove it. I want to see some white players support there brothers by not standing. prove your loyalty. If it so important what kaepernik did, do it again this year, prove it. Be a man prove it.
Sanders never brought his politics onto the field. Not many of the players from the 90’s would do it. They have better class.
Too many black ppl want OTHER ppl to fight their battles for them! Not willing to sacrifice for their own struggle!
KAPERNICK ISN'T WORTH THE TROUBLE. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE TOP QB IN LEAGUE.
Deon is right from a business perspective. We talking money which is why owners buy teams.
He's just keeping it real. You can't poke the bear and have no repercussions.
After reading the comments on this site, one thing is clear. Most people are incapable of listening. More than that it is evident that most of the people voicing their opinions are not well educated. Inability to listen or think makes it difficult to progress through life. In the big picture the NFL is not important. Being a responsible adult in service to family, friends, and community should be the focus. Too much energy and resources are being wasted on a relatively insignificant issue. Learning to spell would be a better investment for the stupos I see weighing in here. Love
You applaud him but the majority of the people don't.
Deion's right.
KAP will sign, 17 weeks 32 QBs I bet a few wont last all season
Deion would like to play against Kapernick to pad his interception stats . Harbaugh isn't going to trash a former player ,as a coach it would make him look bad. I still say BOYCOTT the NFL let players share in REVENUE LOSS maybe that will help resolve the issue .
Why should he not be real
I disagree with Deion. Forget apologizing to those owners Deion.
And Deion Sanders has just let it be know what's up with Colin.
Who cares about the NFL losing money what about what he is fighting for
Romo should’ve replaced Dak, Deion needs to stop! Dak probably would have a better understanding of the game
how the hell does kaperdick get all that mop under a helmet
ALL I GOT TO SAY IS DAMN DION YOUR BEAST IN MUST 17
So he was totally wrong about Tony playing. LOL
The fact is Keap should be the back up QB at the Cowboys it makes the most sense Romo leaves, Dak is the starter and u have Keap who can play if the pieces around him are good , he's an average QB but give him a decent O line and he can win u enough games to get you to the playoffs
If he goes to the cowboys he needs to make a deal where he plays atleast 2 games a year, on a 3 year deal that will show case him and then Jerry can trade him in his last year to a team that needs a QB and he can become a starter again WIN WIN for everyone.
SuperJohn12354 nice gesture but that's too much like right..he will be persecuted because of his courage to speak for those who can't.. but I dnt think he really cares about playing in such a racist league anymore.. y would he..
Noooo. must be the money
All you black football fans, have only yourselves to blame, making these owners richer and you know, how they treat and feel about their black players and blacks in general. But you still go spend your money, SMH!
Rey, Tambrajo, Justin, & all the rest in the same mode as Collin K. This country is so racial, that WE elected an African American as President! This terrible country has went from having legal slaves to the point we're at now in the neighborhood of 200 years! A black man with ambition, and a goal can reach this goal, regardless of what it is with just a bit of work. In fact, the Black man has a better opportunity than a white man with the same goal. Collin Kaepernick had a contract for over 100 million dollars, yes, that's million with an "M"! No other country in the world offers the opportunity for a Black person to succeed at whatever they want. If Colin, and obviously you folks mentioned, don't like this country and it's opportunities, pack your bags and move to one that offers more to you! *Hint-- There isn't one! NOT ONE!
Deion Sanders needs his own show still a fan.
I just lost respect for Deion!
So apparently if you dislike Kaepernick as a player, you're a racist. If you dislike the actions or statements of Kaepernick, you're a racist. However, if you dislike Tom Brady, you're just ignorant about the game.
The NFL owners, just like any other industry, have every right to avoid a controversial employee. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with his impact on their financial health.
This is America. You want to protest, then protest to your hearts content, but don't cry if you suffer some consequences for your action. Put on your big boy pants and take it like a man.
Ozark Ed I agree but his mission is complete to me because it showed a lot of u all for who u truly are..
Ozark Ed if u cnt respect his protest then yes u probably are a racist.. who gives a fuck if u are a fan of his..but if u heard y he was refusing to stand (for a racist ass song intended for whites only ),and u couldn't respect that then yeah u probably are racist.. cause if u knew what really was going on around the country to the Black American people of all ages and sex and u have no problem with it then u are a racist.. and u r probably one of them who try to justify the brutality by criminalizing the suspect if possible.. by bringing up a marijuana charge he was convicted for several years prior or some shit like that.. or he or she was resisting arrest and Instead of following training n guidelines they use deadly force for resisting arrest.. yeah dats u.n yeah u a fuckin racist.. but probably scared to death of any black man u come across with his head held high..just like majority of these bitch ass cops.. racist and even more afraid.. not to mention envious of our body that yo white women cnt go without from yo momma to yo daughter ..and of course yo wife.. probably fantasize about a big thick long black cock that can actually reach her walls n make her cum for a change.. jealous that yo cursed skin completion can't even handle the rays from the sunlight.. u are a fuckin cave man who shared yo cave with yo filthy ass swine beside u..pure evil beings..known for nothing but treachery and trickery and dishonesty.. but the true isrealites are God's chosen ones.. that's y y'all tried to keep that knowledge from us..but the truth always surfaces no matter how long it takes.. n just like your savage ancestors did then, u do now tryna keep us in servitude and kill us and keep us blind..but more n more of us are waking up every day and eventually u won't be able to control us with your religions and mind control.. then the tables will turn and Gods chosen people will rule,and u savages will return to your natural state hiding from the sunlight in caves n shit.. living like animals like Tarzan..
Boycott the NFL, let the players share in revenue loss . maybe this will help resolve the issue .
Really Deion? you applaud Kap for stepping up against the MAN? Have you experienced this system wide racism? The System that's held black men down? Have you been held down? If not..Why not you're black right? l used to respect you
Dee he is one of the best !!!
😂 how is he goin to say romo might hav it when colin actually has it bein so young an takin a team to the superbowl. when has a romo team went that far?
Colin Kaepernick is not that good. Alex Smith got screwed in San Francisco and should have never lost his job. The Jim Harbaugh mistake comes full circle.
we don't applaud him for what colin did. Hope no one signs his ass
Deon only cares about Deon.....what is he apologizing for....
Trump ducked the NFL,
I can't stand how you feel about Deion Sanders but take a moment and listen to what he's saying I don't like what he's saying to but he's pointing out points of view he's not saying that that what he did was wrong he just pointing out points of you and what I believe he thinks is let's get over that let's get back on the field let's get paid you still can stand for what you stand for but I respect your comment I understand what you're saying towards him he could have chose a better way to say it or better way to explain it or stood and said I support him by great means and I think that's why you're not feeling that so I don't know how to explain that for you
Disagree. He hates Kap, that's all.
Unsurprisingly just like everything else! It's about the money -not moral but money! If the fans aren't spending or watching (revenue) then nothing else matters! Capitalism at it's finest! Damn if you do damn if you don't. Me personally boycotting is my stance! This country has suffered more than long enough because of social injustices & racism! Enough is enough!! #boycott4kaepernick2017
It's not about what he is costing NFL owners, Colon is representing the "New Elites" Think about motives, they want to tear down monuments and get blacks fighting whites. But who would want that? Why can't anyone see the Elites want them down, the statues were Elites who by their wealth felt they should be allowed the liberty to own people. The Elites will rise again when people forget, globalization and depopulation is the plan. There will only be two sets of people, not race driven, The Elites wealthy and powerful and the worker slaves to the Elites. It's about Genocide of white middle class and black middle class, anyone who will fight them.
Its the 49ers organization that sucks, not colin.
Colin did what was and currently right, no matter what Deion says.
Wtf now it make sense
don't watch nfl football if players don't stand!!!!! NFL owners loss money!!!!
This is embarrassing.
