The right is calling it unpatriotic. Who on the mainstream left is calling Betsy Ross’s flag racist? I like Kapernik. Whether you agree with him or not, he found an effective way to send his message. It’s a message that he genuinely feels strongly about. Nike has a history of supporting their athletes. I can’t find the article now but there was a nice article (on Bloomberg I think) where they showed all the unpopular things Nike did in support of their athletes.
Not everyone here is so piss poor trash like you their pussy hurts to pay $100 for a pair of sneakers to play hoops with. Foot locker does not take food stamps so you will have to keep shopping at the goodwill stores. Botching about people paying $100 for sneakers ... you so poor you cannot afford to pay attention. Since you have the athletic ability of a mentally challenged manatee you dont have to worry about buying $100 Nike, Addidas or Under Armour. Mine last me over a year even with regular play. I am surprised the sight of minorities in Foot Locker does not make you run the other way to TJ Maxx to buy your discount kicks for your paws.
The fact that you don’t know says more about you. Do you only get your news from Breitbart or do you willfully ignore black people? He was protesting the fact that so many innocent black people were being shot by police officers.
I thought he was protesting the Betsy Ross flag? The one that symbolized our independence, you know the independence that led to the end of slavery. Again, WTH exactly is his message?
Still struggling to explain his message that he has sent so effectively? Quit be a fanboy for some cause. Stay in your center lane. You seem to have a propensity to swerving.
It's a good question, what exactly is his message? If he's protesting police brutality why not kneel in front of a police station? Lets look at this specific to Kapernick himself. What is everyone talking about? Police brutality? No. We're talking about flags and now shoes, and ultimately everyone is talking about Kapernick, which is what this was all about from the jump, him and his washed up career.
