    what a stupid reply. If you know anything about kaep you know he donates a **** ton of money to charity. He already accomplished everything he wanted to do with the kneel. He had nothing more to prove. Id rather have him take that money and donate some of it to causes hes passionate about.

    "Believe in Something....Unless it means giving up $60 million dollars"

    That would be a good slogan

    In what way did he stop believing in something? Did I miss where he agreed to stop arguing against police brutality or stop using his voice as a platform?

    All players need to kneel during the first game of the season if you get this kind of a pay day. Seriously, nice reward.

    If he would have said it was ok he would have been called a racist. Better to have the same stance no matter race or gender.

    In this hypothetical, he could have phrased it in a way that states he changed his mind about Kaepernick which... It's Trump, so that would never happen but also, you are right, it could have potentially been seen as him not being as harsh on the white protestor relative to the black one.

    If no one knew she was protesting, no one would know she was protesting. She's standing and not singing or putting her hand over her heart, just like many other athletes.

    I have a question for Trump supporters here.

    Given that we all agree not on the reasons but the circumstances that black families disproportionately love in poor communities, have disproportionate rates of single parent households, less access to quality public education etc, when Trump touts that he has solved all the problems with black poverty in this nation by constantly tweeting and verbally stating that black unemployment is at an all time low as if his job is finished and has solved the systemic problems of poor black communities, do you think he genuinely cares about these communities?
