It doesn't matter what anyone says...u have the freedpm to express urself when, where or how. U have a right to protest, the way u want... Who is he really disrespecting bc most vets do not care or mind his action. Colin knew there would be backlash and he doesn't care. This is not the home of the free, point blank. Agree or disagree, theres a world that isn't fit for everyone.

You are correct in the you have the right to express your mind. However if your opinion happens to on company time or directly reflects badly on the company, you get fired. This applies to every business, college, organization in this country. Players get disciplined all the time for actions off the field that aren't criminal in nature, why? Reflects negatively on the university.

I see what ur saying and I can agree. But for Colin's sake, his employer doesn't mind his action at all. 49ers are with him publicly, they may cut him at the end of the year but the organization view is that you have the right and they don't think he's being disrespectful.

their opinion, in this country, and i have the same right to consider him a spoiled, overpaid professional athlete who needs to remember how he got to where he is and realize that this country that he is showing so much disrespect for is the only place in the world he can do all of that.

I love this idea. People who complain about one aspect of the country or another should just leave.

This is well thought out. How did you come up with it?

My only disagreement is that he is overpaid. He gets paid to what the market will pay him. It's fair. He has (had) the talent and that's how it works.

For an example of overpaid, look to the lady who led the Wells Fargo division which just defrauded thousands of customers. She is getting a $120 million golden parachute to retire in disgrace. That is a closed system where a select few look after each other and compensation has no realation to the actual value provided.

Kaepernick would face more than public backlash.

If its free, why any blacklash at all, if it was free...no one would care. You sound schooled in the area of backlashing. What r u suggestion?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't think you understand the concept of free speech


Sep 13, 2016, 2:07 PM

It doesn't just apply to those you like and agree with,

Kaepernick has the right to protest the way he wants. And I have the right to think he's a misguided fool for doing what he's doing. I have the right to make that as public as I like.

If you think Freedom of speech means that people can't be criticized then you are behaving in a similar fashion to Kaepernick. Confused.

I think a huge problem with the BLM movement is that it doesn't care about equality. It basically is going after special treatment.

You're confusing free with 'free from consequences.'***

So are u, and colin doesn't care about the consequences. Your quick to state consequences, he has the right to do what he wants...get over it!

Re: If it wasn't the land of the free


Sep 14, 2016, 12:51 AM [ in reply to Re: If it wasn't the land of the free ]

So by your reasoning the land of the free would be the land of no laws.
When you protest it is your right but I don't think your right to protest should infringe on other people's rights. So the thugs who stop traffic or participate in riots do not have the right to do that .
Collin has the right to not stand for the anthem and I have the right to tell him he is wrong for doing it and that what he says he is protesting does not even exist. He is protesting the country that gives freedom to everyone yet he joined a religion that opresses everyone! Go figure!

Re: If it wasn't the land of the free


Sep 14, 2016, 6:44 AM

How was my reasoning towards having no laws??? The anthem has been around for how long? Wasn't the athhem the same back when Dr. king was seeking justice and change? So was it the land of free then? Lol...This country has only advanced in technology and a few laws, ppl havent changed much tho. Your thoughts?

I am not sure what it is, but Dabo has a higher calling than football coach. So refreshing to hear someone talk about the issues that we have in such simple but straight language.
