Compared to these guy they bracket him with out here in the sticks
The viciousness of response to the athletes is amazing

But underscoring the assault on the players
Is the unsupported insistence that Kaepernick has "no case"
When it comes to the substance of his argument...

No case,
A bedrock principle that needs no defense

A case which rewards the ignorants baser desires




Let's just remember why we all are now...


White Christians are also less likely than Christians of color to understand the discrimination that minorities face. Studies have shown that white Christians are generally less likely than other religious groups and the unaffiliated to say that black Americans experience significant discrimination. While 36 percent of white evangelical Protestants say there is a lot of discrimination against black Americans in the U.S. today, 86 percent of black Protestants say the same.

White evangelical Protestants were particularly likely to say that police officers treat blacks the same as whites. They’re the only major religious group in which a majority (57 percent) say the police killings of black men in Ferguson, New York City, and Baltimore were isolated incidents. On the other hand, 70 percent of minority Protestants say that these police killings were part of a broader pattern.

Whether they know it or not, many of the people who have responded to football players' protests by jumping on board Donald Trump's "patriotism" bandwagon are doing exactly that: Policing their fellow citizens. They are obeying a set of authoritarian "rules" that have nothing to do with "love of country" and everything to do with power and control. Those people love their country, to be sure – not always a good thing, as history has so often shown -- but in this matter, they have embraced their own repression and the repression of their fellow citizens.

Months before Trump won the 2016 election, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to observe standard protocol during the national anthem before a preseason game to protest police violence against Black people. "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick said at the time. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."



The protestors are the ones honestly respecting the flag
As they refuse to join in the disrespect it is to show that flag respect
While it refuses to implement the fair society it claims to be...
