    That's exactly correct. I personally opposed Colin Kaepernick's gesture but Trump completely perverted the narrative.

    You just don't get it probably cause you never served...the flag is symbolic of America..shit on it and you might as well shit on the one covering the coffin.

    It's a football game, not a funeral. And while YOU can turn a blind eye to the racial injustices over which the flag has flown that doesn't mean an American citizen is a "son of a bitch" for using the opportunity to point them out.

    You speak with forked tongue. No matter what color they are these idiots should realize that by damaging their own brand they are diminishing their opportunities for endorsement money. In a sport where the window of opportunity can slam shut at the turn of a knee it only makes sense to do nothing that would prevent you from maximizing your career earnings.

    Well people love to say, "They're animals," or, " Culcha," so,if people really believe that, they grow up in different world so it begs the question, "Who speaks with the forked tongue?"

    If they don't believe that then Collin is correct.

    Apparently their agents aren't very bright either.

    The question isn't whether anybody is allowed any protest they want. It's also everybody elses right to withhold any kind of support from those who do it if they don' agree.
    Kaepernick and his new minions have every right to disrespect the flag. NFL owners have every right to choose to employ somebody else if they don't like it.

    It's a great thought but even Trump supporters interviewed today said they would still attend games.

    I wonder what the breakdown of protesters is who have JZ and his ilk as agents and really smart agents like Scott Boras or Leigh Steinberg.

    I never called them animals. Even a monkey is smart enough not to cut off his supply of bananas.
