became guaranteed back in AprilIf they cut him he gets all of it
I believe so, but hadn't tried it yetIs it Burger King that uses Green Mountain?
Report: 49ers likely to jettison Kaepernick, for football reasonsIf they cut him he gets all of it
I havent set foot in a MickyDs or BK in years. Dont know.I believe so, but hadn't tried it yet
That's an integrity squad investigation waiting to happen.
...but when they cut Kaepernick because he sat down, they broke the law!
You know what I've never understood (and yeah this thread is about coffee going forward)? People who put sugar and cream in after they order dark roast. Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
Again none of this is about his right to say what he wants. This is about the rights of the NFL and 49rs to take action against him for say these things while on the clock. Freedom of speech does not apply to the workplace, only to government restricting it.
The reality is Kaepernick was probably going to get cut. Fox sports came out with a big story on why he should hours before he spoke. Now if the 49rs cut him it is a racial story about how the accused racist Chip Kelley did this and this paints the 49rd and NFL in a corner.
I believe this was a completely premeditated plan to keep from being cut and collecting his #. Kaepernick is always a guy who looks after #1.
I'm pretty sure using Pat Tillman as a flag-waving prop is the last thing his family would want given the circumstances of his death and his family's very public statements about it. If his brothers are to be believed, it's probably the last thing Pat himself would want. So using him as a prop to trash Kaepernick for being disrespectful is in really poor taste, IMO, as it's disrespectful to his family and their stated wishes in its own right.
On another note, I believe Bill offered him a spot on the Pats before he died (for when he got out of the service). How good was he as a player?I'm pretty sure using Pat Tillman as a flag-waving prop is the last thing his family would want given the circumstances of his death and his family's very public statements about it.

Seems kinda weird to disrespect his family's wishes as a means to trash Kaepernick for being disrespectful.
I agree and it is not the sitting that puts him at risk but the comments made while representing the 49rs and NFL. I do believe he sees the end and pulled this. Puts the 49rs and NFL in a bad spot.And again, i think you're wrong on this and he'd win in court. It's not his freedom of speech, but his freedom to not speak (stand) as they demand. There is precedent on this in US courts. Unless he has a contract that states he must stand, I doubt the NFL could get away with anything in terms of punishment. your employer can't tell you to do things like that.
They can stop you from an action, but they can't make you take an action.

Wasn't gonna say anything until I got thru 4 pages of posts. My 2 cents. It's America so he has the absolute right to protest. If sf wants to cut him and pay 12 mil so he can play elsewhere or nowhere that is there right.
The sad part is that no matter what he does the country is split and neither side is open to having the "discussion" that his sitting is trying to spark. You may not like how he is protesting but it doesn't make his point less valid.
Thanks for validating what I said. He feels there is a significant issue and wants to call attention to his belief. You feel just as strongly there is no issue and he should shut up. Based on this there will never be a conversation to discuss the substance just two sides digging in.He doesn't have a point. That's the problem. If you are going to protest something, at least protest someone that's correct. Go look up FBI crime stats. Most crime is race on race up near 85-90ish percent. Very little (in comparison) inter racial violence. The cops are ventilating anyone nowadays regardless of race. The white people getting popped gets next to no coverage buts it's happening.

It's because again, he has no point. There can't be a discussion because there is no point in one when I have the actual data that would end any discussion before it started.
So no, there is no validation here.
This logic has always annoyed me, why is that if someone points out something is wrong in this country people say they should leave? Someone who really cares about this country points out its problems and tries to change them, nobody wins by just getting angry at anyone who brings them up.robertweathers isn't asking for the douche to be thrown out of the country or dragged anywhere, it seems to me, he is just suggesting that the douche ought to willingly leave if he really thinks that this is such a detestable place.
your willingness to write off your fellow americans for having a different opinion is rather unamerican, I dont know why the right always feels like they get to label who is a real american and who isnt.Your disagreement is noted and respected.
As I have stated in subsequent posts, burning flags and choosing to sit during the NA is a right each citizen has in this country. I'm fine with that and I'm fine for him publicy critcizing all that is bad with this country anytime or day he chooses. With that said it doesn't mean hes right. Nor does it mean I am wrong for ripping him a new one on this forum.
Choosing not to show respect to the symbol of that right afforded to him by soldiers who died protecting it and the fellow citizens who respect is ********.
Hes just an entitled, disrespectful baby who I will never consider a true fellow countryman.
