A Low Life
 

First the National Anthem and disrespect of our Flag and now Socks that send a message to Law Enforcement Personnel throughout our country. This is just the beginning with this guy. Wait there's more coming while he still has a platform to transmit his point of view. Google if you wish...I won't type his name....a real piece of garbage.

LOOK: Colin Kaepernick's practice socks appear to disrespect the police - CBSSports.com

That does seem kind of a bone-headed thing to do. The man has been making some truly awful wardrobe choices of late.

Again, I never heard of this guy prior to his squatting event. He has had his five minutes of press. I won't Google the guy either. Thanks for sharing the second example of what he is. Just confirmed my original thoughts.

I went to the University of Nevada, Reno thirty years before he was the Quarterback for the Wolfpack in the late 2000s. So, I have heard of him. He is also very good at baseball and could probably get a job with MLB.

Some of the University of Reno, Nevada alumni magazines have featured Colin Kaepernick.

And I lived in the SF Bay area from 1984-1986 and late 1991-mid 1996 and would follow the 49ers which was also a favorite team of many people in Reno, Nevada along with the Oakland Raiders.

I still believe he has a right to make a complete ass of himself which is part of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

He is entitled as every one states. But there is a limit to stupidity.

This is another minority, islolated case case, being amplified by the media for the sensational appeal to the uninformed.

When all gets said and done he is setting himself up to claim racism or dicrimination if and or when he gets canned.

Because he saw the potential for being cut, he just thought he should get the needed notoriety to go with it, to facilitate in the use of a lawsuit.

Flash in the pan, nobody will even remember him in a couple of weeks.

And if he does get to play we will be able to see whether he is just all mouth and lack of sense or capable.

He played in one Super Bowl. He is not a flash in the pan. Super Bowl History

Tony Dunghy is his book, asked his son, "instead of getting mad at a problem, what are you going to do to fix it"?

I think this player needed to start a charitable organization or work in the community to resolve some of these issues. He doesn't give himself credibility to show disrespect for our country by not standing for the national anthem. IMHO

He has the right to express his opinion as this is a free country, right or wrong. I think his form of expression left a lot to be desired. Some people will be for his right to express himself and some people will not like the way, in which he expressed it. I'm sure he will like the $140M he is getting in salary. We all had things we didn't like with our jobs but we kept our mouths shut to ensure future employment.

Hopefully, he will be relegated to a second stringer and be eased out of his job in the near future. Most football organizations don't agree with the way he expressed himself.

Unfortunately, some other team will want to win so badly, they will sign him, assuming he doesn't stick with SF.

This bonehead will never see a snap in a regular season game for the 49 ER's and no one else should pick him up either. Everyone has a right to their opinion but we also have a right to voice our objection to this type of garbage

We will see. He does have supporters.

One thing for sure, he better make sure all his lights are working on his car, and he is not a yard over the sped limit.
In fact if I was him, I would stick to cabs for quite a while.

That's unfortunately true. He may have a hired limo though take him around places. Or maybe a bodyguard/driver. He is going to have to increase his bodyguards and how well he treats them.

Sorry my friend, but I think you are doing an injustice. To call him a "low life" and "garbage" is truly a tremendous insult---------to all the other low lives and garbage out there:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I've been on TOTV a year and a half. I love the give and take of people's opinions and the friendly banter that goes on. I also have crossed the line with my words several times and smoked someone and left them in a pile of ashes only to have my post removed. I am trying to learn from that and control myself on this issue. I can't remember starting a thread in a long time because I am basically a laid back easy going person. This is not an issue where being quiet works or clowns like this will invade the minds of my grandchildren and the way I see it if we don't respect than all is lost. The need for respect of each other has already slipped away, in this case the respect for the very people who keep us safe is being subliminally poked by this man. He made his Constitutionally Protected Point. Have I made mine?

Different people have things and projects in their life that are important. This is important to me. I wouldn't dream of disrespecting something that was important to any person. If I don't defend my beliefs than all is lost. So many people believe what I believe, I don't have a number to back me up but I would think 4 out of 5 people Respect those who Protect our Country and Protect us everyday.

He is protecting himself because his playing ability is slipping, he is getting ready for his career to end. Should those who protect his speech take into account his record? Clearly showing he is not stable. He was fined for racial slurs. He is also reportedly dating a girl whose beliefs may have helped him to turn his back on our country for a little romp. Check it out!

If I remember correctly, he didn't do very well in that game!
