"I SIT WITH KAEPERNICK," created by Jeff Rothberg, 2016.
I SIT WITH KAEPERNICK because it's what's right. I don't agree with everything he says but I let those few opinions slide because I got to know him and the good he's doing is speaking so much louder. Why is he being portrayed as a super villain? What are the opposition so mad about?
Is it patriotic to deny citizens in our country their rights? Is it patriotic to get mad at those speaking up because they're tired of being discriminated against and set up for failure?
How many NFL players have been welcomed back in the league without as much scrutiny and hate after sexual assault, assault, beating their spouse, DUIs, animal cruelty / murder, etc? If it's about the skills, that doesn't make sense considering "bad" QBs get signed all the time to start and Kaep's better than most of the current ones available and on rosters. If it's a money thing, that makes even less sense. Colin had the highest selling jersey in the league last season and does probably more for the community and world than any other player.
It's a spit in the face to our Vets when rights are violated and injustice lives because that's what they fought for, equality and our freedom. Why so much hate and anger towards someone kneeling during our national anthem? Maybe it's because you have no idea what it's like to be discriminated against and have your rights violated. If you did, you'd be on the right side of anger.
