Two years into his pro career. Didn't bother when there was a black president, suddenly got interested when there was a white one.

His black father fucked off and his white mother put him up for adoption. I'm sure there's no weird psychological baggage driving what he did.

Kaepernick was definitely more than 2 years into his pro career when he started protesting. If owt he was looking like he was finished as a starting QB by the time he started kneeling.
 
Learnt a lot from this thread:
BLM are self proclaimed Marxists without self proclaiming
BLM are racists by wanting equality for all.
The taking of a knee today was for BLM and nowt to do with the No Room For Racism campaign badges that were on the arms of all the shirts.
Taking a knee was all about George Ford and definitely not started by Colin Kaepernick. Even if it was, he only started doing it when Trump was in office, despite never playing an NFL game with Trump as president.

Top work lads, really well thought out arguments.

What, like right on the cusp of him putting his Whitehouse belongings into boxes? No threat to him at all.

Should've guessed you'd know when he did it first from your avatar, probably remember the f***ing score as well. :lol:

I'm merely casting doubt on one man's sincerity. The fact people were rioting about these things in 2016 does show that it's a genuine, constant issue and not one of many failed tactics to oust the orange man, I suppose.

Refused to be silenced and it literally cost him his career and tens of millions of dollars. How sincere do you want?


Man there are some proper racist pieces of shit on this thread, and they can't see that the shit they're posting proves why these demonstrations are needed.

I definitely think they'll keep doing it. Problem is it seems to be a vague anti-racist thing, without a real goal, so I don't see how it ends. It's no bother like, it'll just become a part of the game, like sponsors on shirts or clapping during a designated minute in sympathy for a tragedy.

This is the point, it is people going through the motions, the impact of doing it is lessening, there is a big racism problem that needs addressing, I feel that the knee taking is those doing it making themselves feel better for doing it

Can I ask why you hate it so much?

I don’t hate it per se, I just think that a lot of them are doing it because they feel like they have to.

Some rugby players refused to do it and got death threats. So on the one hand you want are (rightly) against racism but on the other you’re sending somebody death threats. :eek: Mental.
