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.

2BNTV: Great response and on target. If this guy believes what he is saying then since has the power of celebrity and the time afforded a multi-millionaire to do something positive he ought to use his energy into creating then trying to destroy.

In my humble view far too many celebrities in entertainment, sports, music are way over paid . I do not based that on sales receipt but as to their contribution to society. Guys on the front lines military police fire contribute, etc,etc.....

Its ironic that guys like this who are the greater recipients of the benefits derived from living in our free society bad mouth this nation more. so when guys like this say things like this I take my cue. they do not appreciate me and I do not appreciate them so I tune them all out because if it weren't for guys like us this bozo would be plying his sport in sandlot games only

Not too bad. They lost 31-34 to the Baltimore Ravens.

The final score doesn't tell the story. The third quarter score was Ravens 28 to 49ers 6. With 13 minutes to go in the third quarter a 34 minute power failure hit the Super Dome. Call it a conspiracy, an attempt to retain the viewers who hadn't changed the channel, whatever, after the black out the 49ers finally came alive and made a decent game of it. However, in the end the right team prevailed.

Here's a photo of the one-hit wonder, while calling Donald Trump a racist and spouting off about blacks being oppressed, he's wearing a t-shirt with fidel castro's picture. The dictator of one of the most oppressive governments in the western hemisphere is not the world. The other person in the t-short photo is Malcom X, who famously said "If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything", so apparently Kaepernick who was raised by white parents, has fallen for the black lives matter trap. Now, with flights available to Cuba, he can go and play for the Castro team.

Does anybody really care if this guy remained seated during the National Anthem? I don't.
If he stole my wallet... sold out America for $25M... married my daughter... then I care.
This is just some guy who's paid a ridiculous amount of money to play a game.
Now he wants attention without doing anything worthwhile to earn it.
He does nothing... he means nothing... he is nothing.

We all need to quit paying any attention to this idiot. We just play into his attention getting antics.

I don't understand this pro sports idols thing. The NFL and NBA has not made dime off me. People say his salary or contract is outrageous, but they will spend 200 plus to see stupid game you can view better on TV. You want to stop this. Stop supporting there program, that's the only thing that will get there attention when money lost. I loss insterest in pro football, baseball, and basketball around 1980. Haven't missed it all all. Bunch of over paid men playing child games.

Yea, but you folks are real few and real far between; I guess you and those others would be considered a minority.

After years of working like a dog everyday and having to be on the ball for 8 to 16 hours a day plus the commute I now am lucky enough to be able to rest a little and try and relieve the pain from those years of giving my all to my job. I sometimes realize that I get it wrong on my view on things. I went from no time to deeply examine issues to having as much time as I need to think things thru. Realistically my opinion matters to nobody just like De Niro's recent outburst doesn't matter to me. When anyone famous or not does wrong as a Dad and Grandfather I have to lead by example and not walk around mad about the things that others do. I had it backwards for a while but I'm on the rite track now. So kneel if you must you dirty mutt, I'll teach my grandkids what's correct and what's not when we're on Skype!

If that 2nd rate rat starts Sunday for the niners, I hope the offensive line let's him get pummeled.

The better play would have been to have totally ignore this guy. He is a hateful individual who is imploding

[Buffalo Jim]

The subject of this Thread San Fran 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick will get his first start of the season this Sunday Oct. 16th
vs The Buffalo Bills . The game will be played at " New Era Field " in the quaint town of Orchard Park , NY at 1:05 PM .

{ Note : The population of Orchard Park a Town founded originally by Quakers is about 29,000 . A Buffalo Bills game swells the population to over 100,000 temporarily } .

In response to the controversy surrounding Mr. Kaepernick`s decision to express his feelings about America during the National Anthem , Bills starting Star Running- Back LeSean McCoy , a child of poverty and an urban setting , is paying for about 30+ Police Officers from surrounding communities to attend the game as his guests and hopefully in uniform if OK by their Departments .

LeSean , a former Philadelphia Eagle , stated that he is not doing this as a counter-demonstration to Mr. Kaepernick but to make a positive gesture to all uniformed Law Enforcement who he feels are getting a great deal of negative press because of as he stated " a few bad ones " .

Finally , as the late Tim Russert , a Buffalo Native , used to say when he signed off his Sunday Morning Broadcast on NBC during the NFL Season : " Go Bills ! " .
