There was at least one flag burning at the Cleveland convention (cops had to say "Hey, Stupid.....you are on fire" when the moron failed to light the flag).
But he did not do it there, did he? NO. He did it at this game, without warning or statement at the time, so he could send the message to millions of young black people that they are "oppressed" and the average NFL player, making millions, is "oppressed", too.
The goal was to poison young people and to DIVIDE this society worse than it already is. THAT is not the kind of role model decent Americans want in front of their kids. They want role models like Aaron Rogers, not that ingrate!!

Actually all he did was not stand up for the National Anthem. He did explain why. And many black people already know that they have problems with some police departments. They do not need Colin Kaepernick to point that out to them. He did remind many people though that there are still problems relating to race in the US. You see them right here on this thread.
Kaepernick did nothing like burning a flag. He just did not stand up.
And I do not see his action as divisive. It is the racists that are making it look that way for some problem they have with a half African American quarterback standing up to show that there are still problems in the US that need to be addressed.
And where did he say he is "oppressed"?
