Claiming they’re not disrespecting the flag or country by showing solidarity to a player who said EXACTLY that’s what he was doing will continue to be problematic for players.

Colin Kaepernick bought into the ‘cops-killing-blacks-indiscriminately’ and ‘America-still-perpetuating-inequality’ in oppressing the black American population. The thugs now emulating Kaepernick’s position, even while claiming they aren’t, is ludicrous at best.

Supporters of professional football by-and-large believe in America, and know police are NOT engaging in wholesale violence against blacks, and resent the implication.

History and statistics back up those beliefs in America and law enforcement.

NFL thugs need to reconsider their attempt to shove guilt down throats of the innocent.

And team owners should remember they have players waiting in line, as replacements.
