49ers Quarterback REFUSES To Stand For National Anthem – His Reason Will Make You LIVID!

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick[1] refused to stand for the National Anthem during the preseason game. He was asked why and said that he would not stand up for a country that persecutes blacks. Then he claimed there were bodies in the streets, cops on paid leave and officers getting away with murder. Pretty much the only unjustified bodies I see in the streets are those of assassinated cops. This guy is an asshat. If he hates this country so much, he should quit the team and leave. He’d be doing all of us a huge favor.

The team respected his right to not stand. That is indeed his right and he is free to act as he chooses. But if I owned that team, I would also feel free to cut him loose. I would have zero tolerance for racist cop-haters playing on the field for my team.

From TheBlaze:

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem during his team’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, citing the “oppression” of black people in America.

After a photo of Kaepernick sitting out the national anthem started spreading on the internet, NFL.com’s Steve Wyche[3] asked the quarterback for an explanation — and he got one.

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he reportedly said. “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.”

Kaepernick said he’s not “looking for approval” and only wanted to “stand up for people that are oppressed.”

There is simply no excuse for this Black Lives Matter bullcrap. Black people are not oppressed in this country and haven’t been for a long time. This is simply racism and cop-hatred at play. This idiot wanted attention for a cause that is violent and ugly.

I would grant this moron’s wish and kick him off the team and strip him of endorsements. He’s all that is wrong with America and he’s an embarrassment to all Americans. San Francisco however seems cool with it. Gee, I guess we are free to boycott them, not go to their games and stop watching their games. Freedom cuts both ways.
