That's because the majority of the critics don't think there is an issue or either they agree with a lot of the social injustice.
I didn't expect most to like his stance and the way he brought attention to this stance but I will say I'm a bit saddened more black athletes were silent while he was getting roasted by the media -

I get the saddened feeling but its what I knew was going to happen so I just looked at it as par for the course -
This man made a decision that he knew would get him blackballed from the league. I don't think it's fair to expect other athletes to risk their future potential earnings, nor do I think Kaepernick even holds it against them.

He's going to need one of them for himself soon.

Props to Mike and Jamelle for mentioning this,i guess every other show on ESPN to busy talking about Joe Mixon.
Kaep is out here donating suits, while Stephen A said he wouldn't have a problem with the league suspending and not paying Mixon for the whole season. -

For what? -
He may not want to...I mean he didn't even publicize his initial stance. It took a reporter noticing it and asking him why he was sitting. -

A few people have been on First Take , Charlamagne and Michael Eric Dyson did this last week, and told SAS how stupid he sounded saying anything Kaep does is irrelevant because he didn't vote. -
Dude still has his self respect & drive to make things better. They can't take that from him. One of these ? ass QB's gonna get hurt soon & they'll come callin for him.

Word let athletes do what they want to do -
The Breakfast Club & Sway need to get the brother in for a interview.
Maybe he doesn't want to -
Always nice to see people doing good things for others
There are a lot of local groups that accept gently used dress clothes to help others with dressing for interviews. Some even provide training
google Dress for Success in your area. They accept clothes , shoes, purses, jewelry , etc.

Just because of what happened, he still feels like Mixon deserves some type of punishment from the league. I used to like Molly but she became a self righteous ? during this ? , and Max is using the same tactics when they vilify black men. -

Oh I know. I was being sarcastic. Some of them claimed they would like to talk and fight injustice another way, but none of them setup up a time and place to contribute. Just a bunch of hypocrites and cowards hiding behind supposed "patriotism" for an inanimate object such as the flag. -
