Colin Kaepernick Blog

Colin Kaepernick is an idiot. That is my honest opinion about him. I think that the whole sitting down during the national because it's "his right" is just a big joke. I think that more than anything it is just more for publicity than anything. he's trying to be recognized and I think that it is back firing more than anything on him.

First off I cant even believe that he would have the nerve to do what he did. He says that African American people are getting oppressed and minority people are getting treated poorly. Well first off if he thinks that he can just not have the opportunity too play American football. He could just not get paid millions of dollars every year to go out and play football. America gave him the right to play football. America and the National Football League "have the right" to tell Colin Kaepernick he cant play football. How do you suppose he'd feel about that? I'm sure he would call that discrimination too and make a big deal about it. Look at all of the African American and other minority men that are allowed play football for a living. No one else believes that they have a higher right than America itself.

Sure there are some flaws in America now no doubt. Every country has them. Sure some white authorities have done some hasty actions recently and wrongfully shot minorities. I'm not saying it is okay but people do make mistakes. Yes some action needs to be taken but Colin Kaepernick protesting the national anthem is a big mistake. People need to realize that there's a bigger problem than "white people discriminating minority people." African American cops have shot white people wrongfully. They have shot other African American people and other minorities. People, especially Kaepernick, need to realize the problem as a whole. People need to not react so dramatically.

Not standing for a country who fought for your freedom, died for your freedom, and helped get you all the rights you have today is a joke. If you don't respect America and all that it has given you just get out of the country. See how bad other countries have it and it might change your attitude a little bit.

People need to get off their butts and realize what it actually going on. We need to make America a strong nation again, not fight over every little tiny thing we can. We need to not be so soft. There are too many soft people that live here and we need to change the thought process of these people. Get your head out of your butt and go work for a living. I don't care where you came from and what your race is, if you live in America and support the ideas, there is no problem. People just need to wake up form the dream they're trying to live in and start living in reality.
