Trump and his dog whistle did it for me.
I guess i'll be catching up on some readings/ books on Sunday afternoons.
Im starting to realize that Kap pretty much laid his career and his reputation at the alter of justice. Had to take a step back and see how significant this ? is.
It was all started by one man. Damn. Thats powerful stuff.

Boomer Esiason 'disgusted' by Colin Kaepernick, calls QB a 'disgrace'
https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2016/08/boomer_esiason_disgusted_by_colin_kaepernick_calls.amp
NEW YORK-- Everyone has an opinion on Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit during the playing of the national anthem before 49ers games.
Some people agree with it, and some people don't. Some people believe it's Kaepernick's right to sit, and some people, like former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, do not.
Speaking to NJ Advance Media on Tuesday at the NFL on CBS media day, Esiason ripped the 49ers quarterback
"It was one of the most disgraceful displays I've ever seen by a professional athlete on his field of play," Esiason, now an analyst for CBS, said. "He signed a contract with an NFL football team. He has on an NFL football helmet. He has got an NFL uniform on. He doesn't have the right, I don't believe, to now start putting out his own political views in that form.
"It would be like me walking out on the field in my football jersey with a 'Make America Great Again' hat on. How many people would that ? off? You can't do this. ... I couldn't have been more direct, succinct, or disgusted by Colin Kaepernick."
In Esiason's opinion, the risk of keeping Kaepernick far outweighs the reward.
"I'd cut him," Esiason said.
aint boomer the same guy who got mad at dion sanders for saying it was drugs in the nfl.
boomer said now he has to have THAT talk with his kid.
dion said he should have already had it with his kid.....lol

He is doing it now that's all that really matters. There's athletes with more legendary status from the NBA than LeBron James who are more quiet than a mouse ? on ball of cotton right now. -

Now if we can get our black military service members to boycott the military we will send a strong message that this country has to deal with the systematic racism and opression levied upon us by this country that has greatly contributed to our current condition before we hear about some immigrants or some ? or some ? statues.
Yea I know what I'm sounding like
But it's the truth
