Colin Kaepernick explains protest of national anthem

SANTA CLARA, Ca. -- Forty Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly and knowingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.

His latest refusal to stand for the anthem -- he has done this in at least one other preseason game -- came before the 49ers preseason loss to Green Bay at Levi's Stadium.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game against Green Bay. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

The 49ers issued this statement: "The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem."

By taking a stand for civil rights, Kaepernick, 28, joins other athletes, like the NBA's Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony and several WNBA players in using their platform and status to raise awareness to issues affecting minorities in the U.S.

However, refusal to support the American flag as a means to take a stand has brought incredible backlash before and likely will in this instance. The NBA's Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf of the Denver Nuggets, formerly Chris Jackson before converting to Islam, refused to acknowledge the flag in protest, citing similar reasons as Kaepernick and saying that it conflicted with some of his Islamic beliefs.

Abdul-Rauf drew the ire of fans and was briefly suspended by the NBA before a compromise was worked out between the league and player, who eventually stood with his teammates and coaches at the playing of the national anthem.

Kaepernick said that he is aware of what he is doing and that he knows it will not sit well with a lot of people, including the 49ers. He said that he did not inform the club or anyone affiliated with the team of his intentions to protest the national anthem.

"This is not something that I am going to run by anybody," he said. "I am not looking for approval. I have to stand up for people that are oppressed. ... If they take football away, my endorsements from me, I know that I stood up for what is right."

Kaepernick said that he has thought about going public with his feelings for a while but that "I felt that I needed to understand the situation better."

He said that he has discussed his feelings with his family and, after months of witnessing some of the civil unrest in the U.S., decided to be more active and involved in rights for black people. Kaepernick, who is biracial, was adopted and raised by white parents and siblings.

Kaepernick's Twitter feed is filled with civil rights Tweets and messages.

The former Super Bowl starting quarterback's decision to go public comes while he is fighting for his football life with the 49ers, who drafted him in the second round in 2011. He lost his starting job last season after being one of the most promising players in the NFL during his run under former coach Jim Harbaugh.   ...

He can give up the big bucks and go to Canada to play out his political statement.  Does he hate the anthem that much?  No way.  Will the NFL let him get away with it?  Of course.  Will this cause all kinds of dumba** football players to refuse to play because of some numbskull grievance?  Of course it will.  That isn't known as the National Felon's League because of all the Rhodes Scholars that play.

Since it's usually "blended family" (more PC) players who are problem it must be something more than the anthem itself causing the problem.  I think global warming is a good candidate.

SF finished 5 and 11 last year dead last in the NFC West.  Surprised that his ass wasn't glued to the bench by his team mates.

Kaep has been finished as a QB since that November 2014 game when Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman ate their Thanksgiving Dinner on the 49rs Logo.  The ultimate embarrassment for him and any 49rs fan.

As we reported earlier, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick disrespected the United States by refusing to stand for our National Anthem. It was a disgrace.

Well, we just found out the REAL reason- HE’S A FRICKING MUSLIM!

That’s right folks, He is a black Muslim that hates the police, whites and AMERICA!

Back in 2015 when Colin Kaepernick posted four separate Instagram posts blasting Donald Trump for his anti-Muslim remarks.

It all makes sense now.

N-word led to Kaepernick penalty
Sep 21, 2014
    Paul Gutierrez
ESPN Staff Writer


GLENDALE, Ariz. - Colin Kaepernick's use of a racial slur is what caused the San Francisco 49ers quarterback to be called for an "inappropriate language" unsportsmanlike penalty in a Week 2 loss to the Chicago Bears, according to a Fox Sports report.

Despite saying "I didn't say anything," the report, citing NFL referees, claims that Kaepernick used the N-word in addressing Chicago's Lamarr Houston after the Bears defensive end patted Kaepernick on the back following an interception.

Replays show that Kaepernick said something to Houston on the play.

Following Sunday's 23-14 loss to the Cardinals, Kaepernick said he did not say anything "racially derogatory" to Houston, but did admit, "I talk on the football field, yes I do."   ...

I would think that in San Fransicko, you would need a burning permit before you could torch the jersey.  The one exception, of course, would be burning the American Flag which would be okay any time, day or night.

Well said - posted on NFL FB page

"Oh isn't this rich. A man whose 19 year old mother was left hanging, pregnant by the dead beat black man who got her pregnant. So she gave up Colin, who was adopted by white parents, and grew up in a "white privilege" home.

 There, his parents were able to send him to college, where his football talent landed him a big fat NFL contract. And now he doesn't want to show pride to a country, who by its very nature of freedom to pursue our dreams, is responsible for the fact that a baby, that neither birth parents wanted, would not be left to survive on the streets, like so many other countries & cultures, but instead would be welcomed into the home of complete strangers, of a different color, who would love him and help him achieve his dreams.

 You are a real class act Mr. Kaepernick. It's the sick, self centered attitude like yours that is ruining this country. Race has nothing to do with it. You make me sick with your millions of dollars, fancy clothes & cars and privileged back ground. You're not out of Compton baby. I don't even see how you identify with the Blacks. You're certainly not living in the poverty level they live in. You just want attention.

 When it all comes down to it. You don't care about race, poverty, rampant gang violence or any of the problems that Black America faces. All you care about is yourself. "

In light of the female Olympic fencer who was allowed to wear a hijab during competition, I'm wondering how long before various sports leagues allow male Muslim players to wear Islamic garb under their uniforms.  "We, the Muslim players of the league, demand the right to wear Islamic garb during competition. And we also demand the right to take time to pray to Allah during games. Dear league authorities, please cave in to our demands."  Whaddya bet some league people would cave?

I offer that any person who refuses to be patriotic towards this country should have citizenship revoked and be escorted outside the country to find the country of choice he wishes to be patriotic toward.

I do not care if he is a football player, a racist or the President of the United States.

In fact, I consider that would be a new usage of Guantanmo:  free these people there as it is not US soil anymore.

Would that not be ironic?

49ers' Colin Kaepernick: 'I'll continue to sit' for national anthem
Nate Davis, USA TODAY Sports 6:52 p.m. EDT August 28, 2016

Two days after sparking a national conversation in the wake of his decision to sit during the pre-game performance of the national anthem Friday night, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick isn't changing his tune.

Addressing reporters from his locker at the team's training facility for nearly 20 minutes Sunday, Kaepernick, who's sat during The Star Spangled Banner for each of the Niners' preseason games so far, said: "I'll continue to sit. ... I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me, this is something that has to change, and when there's significant change — and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, and this country is representing people the way it's supposed to — I'll stand."

Geez, we've got a black President, what more does he want?

Notice he got real brave AFTER he signed his big contract.



He knows he's taken his last snap in the NFL, and has decided to go "Scorched Earth" to gain cred with his new BLM pals.

Either he is a product of a mixed marriage or he was adopted by white parents, I was just listening to the radio.

If you really wanted to do the 49ers a solid, Colin, you'd stay seated for the games, too.

I think he is the product of a mixed conception,  no marriage, and adoption by a white couple that gave him a privileged upbringing.

Now as a multi-millionaire for throwing a ball, he suddenly gets full of resentments. Typical liberal, social justice mentality.

Both. His mother was white,gave him up for adoption,and he was adopted by a white family. A white family that made sure he went to college. Is it any wonder why he identifies wid de 'pressed peep-pulls ob de wurld?

Just imagine how much of a whiny bitch he would be if he had grown up in da hood.
