"Getting too political" is a silly double standard

And then Colin turned around and took millions from Nike lol.

Police brutality=bad, sweatshops=good

Poor ole Colin......just misunderstood...... 😆 He knew his days were over in football so he had to sell his victimhood...boohoo no one likes me enough to pay me millions of dollars to be mediocre in sports as an adult 😛

It's not like he opted out of his own football contract and then whined like a b*tch that nobody would hire him.

I don't know, maybe instead of just throwing cash at something they could participate in programs meant to help the police connect with those in the neighborhoods they patrol. I know these already exist, why not lend their celebrity to it?

How many of them have sat down and hat an actual conversation with a police officer? Especially one who works a tough neighborhood? Maybe start there.

Or just whine on tv. Either or.

Wait, who am I kidding? I don't need to give you any solution, I just gotta shout "do something". That's good enough 👆

How many police officers have sat down with members of the community the patrol? Especially officers policing communities in which they do not live. Maybe start there.

How many whined about police brutality in front of millions?

Give me a rough estimate.

Not enough, apparently.

Neat, but we did have millionaire cry babies whining and drawing attention.

What did they do with that attention?

The suggestion that the issue of police brutality will be solved, not by officers sitting down with the communities they police, but by celebrities sitting down with officers is the deflection. I addressed the problem of police brutality directly. You are welcome.

No, the conversation was about whether or not Colin actually believed in the cause or was just using it for selfish reasons.

So yes, you deflected.

Hell we can expand it beyond Colin to *anyone* else kneeling lol.

What did they do? Adam, you got any answers?

Using their name to draw attention to a cause is an act in of itself. eg It's why if you ranted about human rights abuses in say the KSA, it wouldn't really matter at all, cos you're just a pleab, but if a Ben Shapiro did, it likely would raise some level on awareness and possibly have an impact in started a dialog.

Why this had to be said...

Nice deflection.

That was a direct on topic reply... so if you can't understood celebrity sway and drawing attention to causes with the weight of said status, that's on you my peon friend. But it exists; this won't be debated.

^Wow.

If Colin cared that much about the issue, what has he been doing recently to push the issue forward?

Well duh, he's supporting the cause now by buying the nikes that represent him 😉

I respect him cuz he insisted Nike clean up their act before signing. It was a condition he imposed on them.

Lol oh no wait the opposite occurred. And yes his Nike commercial talked about "sacrificing everything". You can't make this up.

According to google, Kaepernick has donated over a million to charities and to raise awareness and continues to do so.

Good for you, Colin. Putting your money where your mouth is unlike Trump, who promised to donate 1million to a charity of E. Warren's choice if she took a DNA test. She did; then Trump backed out by claiming he never said he would, like a true coward.
