He refuses to stand up for the US flag during the national anthem causing a uproar. He standing up for the black lives that where lost during police arrests.

    I'm reading about this on different site, cacs are ? saying the typical response "go back to your country" and one poster said that "we should be grateful we were brought he in the first place" lol. White people have a nerve. When this country destroyed countless lives while being build from free labor

    He said he didn't tell the team that he was doing it either. He get props for this knowing the backlash from white people will be ridiculous. ? 'em...

    It's a standup move been talked about on all the sports radio shows today...all of a sudden he's a black man but when he was flying high he was raised by a white woman lol

    white ppl get all their panties in a bunch when, ? with privilege= NFL players take a stand...they've never had as stolen legacy or been less than a human in a nation that they built...they talk about the service men & women ask the black service men and women if they can't understand what he said... NFL dudes are seen as property for 1 & this whole Zeke Elliot thing is nonsense SO What he went to a headshop or dispensary conflicting reports I heard but so the ? what...they tested him he passed and he's old enough to look around if he wants to...imagine sexually harassing ? Jerry judging an adult b/c he looked...all them fools go to porn sites so WTF

    Yes I don't think he ever really stood a chance, Kelly was doing a pr move by saying it was an open comp imo...now he has the excuse that Kap missed time but I am of the opinion that Kelly has his politics interfere with his coaching...if not Kap should be starter by week 6

    On one hand I wish he just spoke out about it instead of sitting down for the anthem cuz now white people got the excuse of turning this into an antimilitary thing...

    On the other hand if all he did was just speak about it, it probably wouldn't even be on the news.

    Not sure which is better.

    He went the right route. Military vets are shiiting on ppl for using them as an excuse to hate. Just "speaking on it" would've went through one ear and out of the other.

    Speak out on Twitter, like most other vets are doing. Let the people know where you stand.

    Would they be like this when in the 50's and 60's when black soldiers were not permitted to get homes after they served or would they speak up on the racism their fellow black soldiers encountered when returning home from active duty?

    I'm asking why they speaking up about the flag, when they should be outraged of the treatment of vets. I miss read the post wrong. Yes they use the military as a means to justify their own hate.

    Nah, keyboard activism is a sham.

    This the type of conversation i like to have face to face.

    Tone can not be discerned in text.

    I will have my chance in class.

    You teach?
