Colin Kaepernick

I really like the beer at MSS!

I didn't read the whole thread, but as an avid football home, my home has and will be boycotting any game that shows these idiots on the field during work expressing their personal opinions. If any of us express our personal and political opinions on the clock, we would be fired. I turned off my cable tv eight years ago, I have not stepped foot on an mgm property since the announcement of paid parking. A classic country song said "you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything". We have no real discipline or integrity anymore and are a culture of I want, what I want and will pay any cost for it. How is that working for us, America?

Are death threats free speech? Maybe in Texas

Kids' team faces death threats from shitkickers

From pjstroh's source [difficult to access. because his link is faulty]:
"Parkerson [the mother of 11-year-old running back] sent ABC News screen shots of some of the threats, which have mostly been made on social media from people living outside Beaumont. [the location of the team]"

How does pjstroh know the threats are from "shitkickers"?, . . . or is he just projecting his preconceived prejudices?

If you can't express your opinions at work, you might want to find a better job. Players are not protesting during the game, which is what they are paid to do. As long as it doesn't interfere with the game itself, they have every right to protest.
Working pretty damned good for me. By the way.

Are you related to drmilled by any chance, daisy? And I agree - those kids should get off your lawn......

Nothing in My comment said race. It is sad that people, the media, Hollywood and politicians want to make everything about race. I said people should not and cannot make personal opinions on company time. They are distractions to the company and clients. No, none of us and that includes you are not allowed to use company time at work to promote our personal agendas and view points. I am so over this election season and this sensationalized world we are living in. Personal attention seeking and people hiring goofballs to dance on the street corner for me to come and get my taxes done. Really, I am going to trust your judgment to see all my personal accounts and finances and the best idea you could come up with is hiring homeless people and drug addicts to twirl a sign.

I tune into football for entertainment from a sporting event. I did not turn on a 24 "news" carnival. And no, I am not talking about race because I also say the same thing about October and the damn pink uniforms for breast cancer and I am a woman....so I hate women to I guess. No, I am tuning in to watch mindless tv. I don't need other people to tell me what to think or do with my time, energy and money. I turned on football. I want to watch football. No more, no less.

NFL kickoffs are at five minutes past the hour. Tune in then and avoid the kickoff. No one is making you watch it.

Even though daisybasket is not related to me, I agree 100% with her comments. It is nice to know that there is at least one other person on these boards who can reason and make intelligent choices.

Television stations used to not show the playing of the national anthem most of the time, unless it was a special game. Now they seem to show it all of the time, because they are looking for the asshole protestors. I would love if two or three players stood in front of Kaepernick and blocked him from the camera. I'm guessing he would have a fit. This is now going down to high school football and I even heard about Pop-Warner. This is so wrong to do this to kids. Kaepernick is a disgrace. San Francisco and the NFL can't get rid of him too soon.
