Rodney Harrison says Kaep isn't black.

Lol typical responses ...what does his $
Or how much he sucks or his ethnicity actually have to do with his protest?
If he was a white trailer trash rookie who could qb like prime montana would we feel any different?
Focus on his words or his protest his status as a player or as a mulatto is irrelevant ...
Btw i hate the niners and their whole crew so him just saying stop clouding issues with irrelevant .
You disagree say why instead of attacking him on some dumb .
What he said made total sense. When you decide to do something like that though it just overshadows everything. I'm not saying it's right but that's the way it is.
He knew he was going to piss people off by sitting and thought that would get their attention. It did but now that is all they think about.
Sounds like the FO is close to jettisoning Kraep. If they do this turned out to be a good thing.
The timing of Kraep's "protest" seems awfully convenient. It's not like he's LeBron or Kareem or Ali or another athlete with a track record of speaking out about social issues. Kraep has a track record of referring to black players as racial slurs and making insensitive jokes on social media about the Houston floods. Until now, he's been known as a dumb knucklehead who says stupid .
But now that he's been banished to the bench and is looking at another lost season as Blaine Gabbert's backup, suddenly he fancies himself as an SJW and he's staging attention-grabbing protests. When you consider both the person and the timing, it rings too hollow to be taken seriously. Especially since said protest is motivated by an emotional narrative that cops gun down black people for fun, as opposed to objective facts and reality.
I don't get the argument that protests shouldn't be judged by the credibility of its leader(s). You wouldn't take a protest against sexting seriously if Anthony Weiner was the ringleader. So why should we take a protest against "oppression" seriously when it's led by a privileged NFL quarterback who uses racial slurs?
Kaepernick needs to protest guys like his dad who bail on their families. The link between crime and one parent is very evident.
Dads in the homes mean less kids on the streets, which means less crime which means less police.
I really wonder if he knew he was on the bubble and did this to make it harder/put pressure on SF to not cut him?Sounds like the FO is close to jettisoning Kraep. If they do this turned out to be a good thing
I have no problem with what he did either. I don't think it was the best way to go about it, but if he really believes something there are a lot worse things you can do. Ultimately, there is always a PC angle/teammate angle to deal with but you are usually damned if you do, damned if you don't.
So he chose his way, didn't infringe on others and staged a peaceful protest. I don't see the big issue personally.
I wasn't agreeing with Harrison's point of view, I was just adding it to the discussion. But I appreciate the link to an article I otherwise wouldn't have read.
it never crossed my mind you would tbh
Reports are saying he'll likely get blackballed once he's out of S.F.
Incorrect...at Krappernick trying to be a social justice warrior now. This is the same clown who got fined for referring to a black player as the N-word:

And what a surprise that he's started spewing anti-American rhetoric after converting to Islam.
Personal life
Kaepernick was baptized Methodist, confirmed Lutheran, and attended a Baptist church during his college years.[47] Kaepernick spoke about his faith saying, "My faith is the basis from where my game comes from. I’ve been very blessed to have the talent to play the game that I do and be successful at it. I think God guides me through every day and helps me take the right steps and has helped me to get to where I’m at. When I step on the field, I always say a prayer, say I am thankful to be able to wake up that morning and go out there and try to glorify the Lord with what I do on the field. I think if you go out and try to do that, no matter what you do on the field, you can be happy about what you did."[48]
Kaepernick has multiple tattoos. His right arm features a scroll with the Bible verse Psalm 18:39 written on it. Tattooed under the scroll are praying hands with the phrase "To God The Glory" written on them. To the left of both the scroll and praying hands is the word "Faith" written vertically. His left arm features a Christian cross with the words "Heaven Sent" on it referring to Jesus. Written above and below the cross is the phrase "GOD WILL GUIDE ME". Written to the left and right of the cross is the Bible verse Psalm 27:3. His chest features the phrase "Against All Odds" and artwork around it that represents "inner strength, spiritual growth, and humility". His back features a mural of angels against demons.[49][50][51][52]
When he was 10 years old, Kaepernick acquired a pet tortoise named Sammy. The tortoise since has grown to weigh 115 pounds.[53] When he was in 4th grade, Kaepernick wrote himself a letter, predicting that he would be 6 feet 4 inches, 190 pounds, and would "then go to the pros and play on the Niners or Packers even if they aren't good in seven years,"[54] predictions which became accurate except for his weight.
Near the end of the 2012 NFL season, Kaepernick's signature touchdown celebration earned him a photo fad by his namesake, called "Kaepernicking". The signature touchdown pose involves flexing and kissing the bicep of his right arm. Kaepernick says he kisses his "Faith", "To God The Glory", and Psalm 18:39 tattoos and the reason he does the celebration is because "...it's my way of saying I don't really care what people think about my tattoos" and "God has brought me this far. He has laid out a phenomenal path for me. And I can't do anything but thank Him."
Past sins dont exclude you from speaking on injustice. Have you ever been to church the best testimonies are from the worst characters. The leader of the mens group of the church i was married at in San Antonio was a former pimp that used to beat women ...does that make his words empty? Or can someone that was a former pimp or hustler like Malcolm x or a womanizer like MLK jr still have something of value to speak on injustice?
Obviouly Kap is not them but he is also not a politician either how he acted or spoke in the past doesnt mean he cant be a change agent ...that is ignorant.
It's fairly recent, tbh. Might not even be completely "official" or anything either, but his fiancee is basically forcing him to convert.
Damn. Those truth bombs.
I like how he slid lebron next to ali and kareem.
LeBron is more conscious than Jordan but he aint Ali or Kareem neither ...
CN lost me there ...as well as again, focusing on the man not his words.
Even if kap is a moron doesnt mean he cant have a salient point in the subject
that's one way of looking at it, another is that he is trying to build himself a career with oprah or something now that he knows he is done as a football player..
Ummmmmm........ yeah, she's quite the halal, Allah-fearing hijabi Muslimah.
Have you seen her pictures showing her big ol' ties, lots of skin all over, dyed hair (hair... female awrah... exposed so other people including men can see... and DYED purple, green, pink, aqua... she altered her natural jamilah, so haraam, against the will of Allah! May she be stricken down and sacrificed to Shaytahn, mashallah)..
Also she is a bisexual... haraam... and a socialist/communist sympathizer, and supported Bernie Sanders. While zakat is a pillar, communism is founded upon atheism/agnosticism and is haraam as per the Qu'ran/hadith.
More than likely she is just a standard hipster with a liberal Muslim background and upbringing. Doubt she's really religious at all much less "forcing him to convert to Islam" or considers him a kafiri in any way.
This is a left wing issue, not a jihadi issue.
It's not really "past sins" as much as it's a track record of being a non-serious person. I don't think Kaep is a bad person per se, he's just never once given off the vibe of someone who cares about political issues and the world around him until now. He comes across as a college freshman who took one sociology class and now thinks he has all the answers to the world's problems.
It doesn't help matters that he's now going around in socks with pigs in cop hats all over them. That shows more of the same immaturity that we've come to expect from Kaepernick over the years. It just confirms his critics' assumption that he's doing this for attention at the end of his NFL playing days.
You bring up Malcolm and Martin, but here's the thing. They weren't perfect people, they had their vices, but they were also intelligent, serious people who knew what they were talking about. Kaepernick isn't. He doesn't even compare to other pro athletes who have spoken out about social causes. He's a knucklehead who knows his NFL career is pretty much over, so he's grabbing for headlines while he still can.
I could see Kaepernick as the next Bill Ayers
