    There are different points of view - I get that. Pop calling anyone who disagrees with him "ignorant" is in itself an ignorant thing for him to do. It's a long way from "This is what I believe" to that kind of rhetoric. Name calling in that cir stance is a pretty stupid choice for someone who believes he is so wise. He's as guilty of fanning the flames as anyone else.

    And, no, Kaepernick didn't "sacrifice his career" with the kneeling protest. He sacrificed his career by being an ineffective quarterback. Pop wants to perpetuate the idea that this is the 60's and Kapernick's protest was the equivalent of the Selma march, and that the mean ol' NFL kicked him out of his career. But the fact is, he played a whole NFL season after he first took a knee, and had a QB RTG under 50 and his team was 1-10 with him as a starter. The year before they were 2-6 with him as a starter, and he had a QB RTG of 43.

    The "sacrifice" narrative is a myth that helps a certain type of person with their white guilt, but it totally ignores the fact that Kaepernick was on his way out before he ever took a knee, and his play in 2016 was the coup de gras. I don't give a if he wants to protest, but he played himself out of a job. He would have done well to focus on getting better, just like Pop would do well to focus on getting this thin team ready instead of holding up the ghost of Colin Kaepernick as "proof" of the boogey-man.
    he's better than every backup QB in the NFL and even some starters. imo 100% chance he would be in the league but not for politics

    niners were a dumpster fire which is why chip kelly was fired after 1 season. kaep's individual performance wasnt that bad. he threw 16 TD's to 4 INT's with a passer rating north of 90. i dont think he had a career as a starter left, but no chance he'd be out of the league. the following season you had guys like austin davis starting games. nathan peterman has started multiple games. ej manuel. geno smith.

    and "as an army doc"

    we all appreciate your service, but that doesn't make your political views any more or less legitimate.

    In other words, those freedoms you fought for as a member of the military.

    Pardon me if posted already. Pop backing the ultimate con who sold out to Nike as well. Spurs fan x 25 years and as a former Army doc I am having a very hard time dealing with Pop’s latest diatribe - yet he is coaching the USA. IMO as that coach - politics should be put aside in that roll - plus he has Kerr who also plays the politics game.
    yeah pop lost his balls a couple yrs back.

    Pop is doing the right thing, but people like you will try to twist it to fit your narrative.
    bull !

    Pop is a public figure, you're just some asshole on the internet. I'd say he has more of a right than you to speak on politics.

    im a huge 49ers fan bro. He sucked that year. He has a game where he passed for 6 yards. No that is not a typo. He had ONE great game against Miami where he threw 4 TDs and the rest of the year he was beyond garbage. Dude literally deserved to be benched in favor of Blaine Gabbart. Do you know how much you actually have to suck to deservedly be benched in favor of him

    Also the 16 to 4 interceptions is the biggest baloney of all time. 49ers where down like 21 points every single game he started and he would throw a couple of garbage time touchdowns to make it look respectable. I mean look at the losses they had and tell me how much of an impact his 16 touchdowns had. 16-45. 17-34. 23-41. 26-6. 17-30. 13-41. The dude sucked that year. He threw for UNDER 190 passing yards per game.

    so yes you can say he’s better than 90% of all back ups but what’s the name of Detroit’s back up? Or Seattle’s? Or even Dallas. You don’t want your backup to be well known. You want him solely as a practice guy and to sit on the bench and hand your starter his water. Not in front of the media or having a campaign or the owner or the coach answering questions about your back up. He’s not the starter. So why should a franchise expect to treat him as one.

    Pop has always been clear that he stands against the 'race-baiting and fear-mongering' that has proven to be dangerous, deadly, and 'divisive' by intention. I don't think he cares much about those who support that kind of thought. I'm with him all the way and proud he's our coach.

    "Stick to sports," says re who spends entire days promoting his own political views on the internet. Also no one cares that you were such a loser that you had to be an Army doctor.

    i can’t stand how fox news / the right “stands for personal freedoms” but is against public figures sharing their opinion

    “lebron should shut up and dribble”
    “taylor swift should stick to signing”
    “hard to stomach this by pop”

    such moaning.

    Kaepernick's beef was never with the American military. He was trying to give a voice against police brutality and racial inequality which still pervades our societies to this day.

    It was the media who turned the whole narrative "he is disrespecting the flag, and the military, and America".

    The military doesn't fight for a country that forces everyone to get up and salute the flag when they are told to...in fact, the military fights for a country that gives people the choice not to.

    As someone who stands and holds my hand over my heart every time the national anthem plays, I fully respect your love and honor for America, and thank anyone who sacrifices their lives for it.

    But as this country gave you a voice, you should respect the voice of others even if you don't quite agree with it.

    I said his career as a starter was likely over. But he wasn’t a trainwreck like osweiler for Houston. And gabbert was the initial starter that year with chip. He got benched for Colin iirc. Kaep was bad. He wasn’t “doesn’t belong in the nfl” bad.

    As for big name backups, there is a point to be made there. Teams usually tolerate player that brings a media circus if they play well enough to justify dealing with it. It’s unlikely a backup would. But nothing inherently wrong with having a well known name as your backup. Rg3 is a backup. Kaep is better than him. Bridgewater and Tannehill are the two i can think of who are better players than kaep

    Shut your mouth, you celebrity Cuck. I don't care how great a coach Pop is or if he's a public figure, he's still just a dude with one more useless opinion that won't change a ing thing. The only difference between the two of you is that he cries himself to sleep in a mansion and not a cardboard shack. As for Kaepernick, I don't care if I ever hear or see that Progeria faced Snowflake ever again. I don't think he's anything close to being a patriot. He's an ignorant who pimped Castro and Che Guevara's socialist and Marxist ideals for views and clickbait.

    That’s called freedom of speech, and if Pop is in a position to say it then let it be.
