Believe it or not Kaepernick is hated by a few Democrats as well....as I understand it.

Jim Brown gives his take on the Kaeprenick debate. Measured and sound.

Military pays them to play the anthem, which isn't really needed for the game. But when you sign up with employer who pays you millions, follow the rules and go protest somewhere else on your time. Jim Brown is a man I respect.

This clip from the quote above from @Zeke fits this thread too, I totally agree with Jim Brown...

The players have forgotten that pro football is a business and they are employees. When there are protests and the owners see fewer fannies in the seats and revenues go down, they get very unhappy.

I know many fans find the idea of millionaire athletes protesting to be offensive. Set up a fund to help inner city minorities if you want to do something productive. Taking a knee tends to piss people off. That would seem to be evident.

You can't make this stuff up! The Washington Redskins have physically removed seats from their home stadium 3 years in a row to make their attendance figures look better. And it's still not working. This weeks home opener will probably not be a sellout.
