NAACP calls for boycott if Kaepernick remains unsigned

Wasn't it Harbaugh who wanted Kap over Alex Smith. The fall of San Fran wasn't on Kap.

 

It was a mistake on my part damn. It's not really that deep.

 

When was Kap arrested, when did Kap disrespect the country? How did he disrespect the fans? Why is he more obligated to stand than you are? I see plenty of folks who don't stand that is their right.

 

I am pretty sure he will survive without the NFL he needs to. I never stopped eating chik fil a and Occupy Washington, what the hell is that?

 

I don't follow football. I don't have time to follow football, and I will not make time to follow football. But a lot of the guys that work for me really get into it. They all pretty agree that this guy wasn't much of a QB before the whole anthem thing. They also say he saw the career writing on the wall and needed to do something controversial to try and stay relevant.

 

I expect my employees to represent my company properly while on company time. My customers can do whatever the hell they want.

 

There is no rule that says you must stand during the national anthem.

 

And there is no rule forcing a team to accept him and the message he delivers while wearing the uniform. The point is that fans can do whatever the hell they want. They represent themselves as individuals.

The actions of a player in uniform represent the team and the NFL. (I wonder is he knows what the N stands for?)

 

Economics 101......Kappy wasn't black balled or White balled.......he was green balled......

 

There is no rule you have to make $126 million.......geez

 

Oh? do you have the agreements that the players signed?

 

I don't think I've said that it's made you "bad people." I'm merely pointing out the fact that no one at home stands up for the National Anthem, yet they would blast Kaepernick for it. I don't believe you to belong in this group.

 

I watch football to see them play the game, not stand for the Anthem. I stand for it myself in stadiums, but never at home. Not once. I talk right through it. You're right - most people having vapors about him not standing for the Anthem most likely do exactly what I admit to doing when it's playing on my television.

 

The fall of SF is the fact that the Yorks are a bunch of numb nuts who don't know how to run a football franchise. Letting a top notch coach go, and most of the star players bailed. I doubt even Tom Brady could have resurrected that team.

 

Not the entire team, just the Yorks who knows diddly and squat about running a football team.

 

This puts me in a quandary as I had already decided to boycott over other players showing disrespect. In fact I didn't even join the Fantasy Football Leagues this year and I normally have four teams. If the NAACP is against it I may have to rethink.

 

Nope. But if he were doing a good job, and representing his team well, then getting signed wouldn't be an issue for him.

 

An NAACP boycot would be like Affirmative Action in sports, for Whites.

 

The article is huge, reviews the quarterbacking needs of every team and whatever they can relate to this player's chances with them. They think Kaepernick should sign with Google.

 

We had a few moron 'pundits' here in Colorado who suggested that we should bring Kaepernick on with the Broncos. I'm SO glad that didn't happen. For better or worse, Trevor Siemian is our quarterback now. Even if we don't win half our games this year, I would prefer that to bringing an America-hating nothingness like Kaepernick to Denver. As the old saying goes, "F*ck him and the horse he rode in on...."

. "But, hey, I'm Black!" .

 

They can shut down all professional sports for all I care.

 

A military man weighs in with his thoughts:

I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.

Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.

Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!

You are complicit in this!

You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?

I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?
Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game! You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.

Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles.

They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.

Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.

I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!

Time to change the channel.

All I wish to say on this topic is that if any of your players don't stand and be respectful, I'm not watching your game. Period. Done deal.

 

Each of the four major team sports leagues in North America include “morals clauses” in the standard player contracts in their collective bargaining agreements. Section 11 of the NFL standard player contract, for instance, provides that “if Player has engaged in personal conduct reasonably judged by Club to adversely affect or reflect on Club, then Club may terminate this contract.” Moreover, the NFL Personal Conduct Policy authorizes the NFL Commissioner “to impose discipline as warranted” when a player fails to conduct himself “in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the League is based, and is lawful . . . even where the conduct itself does not result in conviction of a crime.”

 

Yet they let criminals, and drug users keep on playing. That said, they do what they want, I could careless. The league is run by a bunch of hypocritical morons.
