"Getting too political" is a silly double standard

2. Calm down
3. Realize taking a knee is far less important than something like the thousands of innocent murdered in drone strikes each year by our military.

"Oh my gosh! My ancestors who fought and died for this country are so offended that this player took a knee during the national anthem!"

Sure, okay, buddy. Whine away.

We need less hurt feelings and more STFU.

Very similar to people who get upset over gun violence which make up a very small percentage of overall deaths in the USA while at the same time turning a blind eye to the almost a thousand unborn children murdered in their mothers' wombs in this country every single damn day.

The way you feel about people like me getting upset over people disrespecting the flag and anthem is the exact same way I and other pro-lifers feel towards people like you who think mass infantacide is no big deal while at the same time b*tching for something to be done about gun violence and pretending to care about the children.

I'm still wondering why, if Colin is such an innocent guy just protesting police brutality, he wore the pig socks?

You see saying "police brutality is wrong" just targets the bad cops. The pig socks go after them all. It's like calling all Chinese people chinks in order to protest what Xi Jinping is doing.

So what about the hurt feelings over the national anthem? That's pure snowflake behavior.

Considering your previous views of Colin Kaepernick and his silent kneeling during the anthem, that's just funny for you to say

My view is he was kneeling to start shit and this is proven by his pig socks. That is some shit you do if you wanna spark a controversy, not raise awareness to an issue you're passionate about.

Agreed, that mostly goes for both the pro and anti sides of the "controversy".

Yes, as I said in previous posts, it was nothing more than virtue-signalling attention-seeking behavior.

“I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust,” Kaepernick wrote.

its a good thing he clarified his intentions. It probably didn't get as much attention or just ignored tho.

Oh no I knew he tried to push a bullshit excuse later. It's irrelevant, only simpletons buy into the excuse.

"Clarifying intentions" IOW, the kitchen got too hot so he made an excuse in the hopes he'd be allowed to leave.

Hey to be fair they give the same leniency to Trump when he clarifies comments after the fact...

Now you're flipping out cos of a pair of socks?

Robtard legit laughed.

Not flipping out, just pointing out it wasn't some innocent protest. Do better with your next response 👆

Peacefully kneeling in quiet is just that though.

Still laughing that you're going on about a man's socks still. Snowflake behavior at its best.

Yep, the left never went on about clothes.

Plus, I don't really care, do you?

After the fact. When should he have explained them?

Would it really have made sense to u if he made a press release the day before announcing his plans to wear pig socks and preemptively explain his rational?

He clarified an action he took.

And I gotta ask: you gullible enough to buy into the excuse, yay or nay?

if that were the case id assume he would have stopped kneeling which brought far more heat on him than the socks.

That's probably why he made the excuse, calling cops pigs(which was his point) would have chipped away at his support. thus his "not all" excuse after being called out.
