That’s certainly an interesting way to go about it. I can think of a lot easier ways.

In all due respect to you, and please do not take this as a personal attack, but I truly feel sorry for you if you believe that Kaepernick's protest was really deep down about him not being a starting QB.

Not taken as one,I respect your opinion .I just can't see how anyone can believe anything else.He had no "protest" while a starter.

I'm trying to get excited for the SB but I really just don't give a shit. I'm just hoping JT pulls out another tit during the halftime show.

Didn't he get pulled over by a cop or something and treated like a suspect and that's partially why he did it?

Welcome him to the club with open arms. Who hasn't at one time or another?

I am not totally sure that happened, but either way if the military supports his right to sit or stand during the anthem so do I. That's what this country is all about, is the freedom to have a choice. Maybe he wasn't personally harassed by police, maybe he was. But you can't deny the kneeling wasn't effective, here we are 2 years later still discussing it.

It only got people discussing his right to kneel and pretty much nothing else, so actually it wasn't effective.

Ricky: With all due respect, Mr. Dennit, I had no idea you'd gotten experimental surgery to have your balls removed.
Mr. Dennit: What did you just say to me?
Ricky: What? I said it with all due respect!
Mr. Dennit: Just because you say that doesn't mean you get to say whatever you*want*to me!
Ricky: Yes, it does!
Mr. Dennit: No, it doesn't!
Ricky: It's in the Geneva Conventions, look it up!

Agreed on why Kapernick really did it.

On the gesture... the protest was interpreted, by those participating in it, just as Kapernick said. Now their narrative has been proven a lie, and proven unpopular enough to affect ratings (how much is a matter for debate), of course there's backpedaling and "oh no it wasn't about that".

I'll be glad if only this is the biggest controversy of this Super bowl, and enjoy a good game. But some people just want to watch the world burn.

Hope the Eagles get blown out this SB, and there are some good commercials.
