Colin Kaepernick didn’t take a seat for the national anthem Thursday night, but he wasn’t standing either. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback chose to kneel while the anthem played, and this time he wasn’t alone.
San Francisco safety Eric Reid, a fourth-year player out of LSU, also took a knee on the sideline in San Diego, joining Kaepernick in a show of support for the quarterback’s protest as the crowd booed ahead of the preseason finale between the 49ers and Chargers, a game won by San Francisco, 31-21.
It was the fourth time in four games Kaepernick did not stand during the anthem, although Thursday’s game was under a larger magnifying glass after comments he made following last Friday’s game that drew the ire of many and sparked a heated national debate. (He was not in uniform for the first two games.)
this football player did not stand because of the way america treats white people better than all the other races.
i think he is right to not stand because it is not fair how they treat every other race

I think that you are a very wise young man to beable to form an opinion about injustice in our society.

I appreciate your right to to think this and your freedom of speech but I totally disagree with the statement. As long as anyone even speaks the word racism it will continue to exist. I have lived the poor white trash and have lived in mixed neighborhoods and I have lived in total hispanic neighborhoods. People are people. This Man is one of the reasons racism exists. Tell me, What is he doing for his brother ? anyone can kneel. It takes a strong man to stand up and do something to help

I disagree I think it is helping a lot of people stop being racist for what he is doing and by keeling he was showing dishonor to his country

Not sure if debating was allowed so we moved to home base. LOL

I think it's good that he is trying to figure all of this out and form an opinion... Debate is how you learn and how we change our minds... If done correctly.

I agree Linda and I am not one to debate because I dont know all the facts. but its mostly opinion here. and that will lead to arguments quickly So thats why I thought it better to not do it here. He is so smart and considering background that was a bit surprising . I am very proud of him.

I don't debate on public forums much... Especially here.. I usually carry a highly different perspective than most on here. It doesn't shape the way I feel about anyone and I will still read it.. But unless I am out right asked I try to not share to much about my opinions.

Anyone know if red and papa are far enough away from the hurricane.
