    They colluded and paid some hush money.  My guess is that he got some and they donated some. 
    I still root for him.
    (And fuck no he should not have played in the AAS or whatever that abbreviation is for less than the NFL pays.  Dude is much smarter than that.)

    And now Kaep joins Sam Bradford atop the list of all-time mediocre QB's to make hundreds of millions of dollars from the NFL.  I never said he was dumb.

    Agreed, that was silly as hell.  Nike blew itself up for one person's opinion.  I really like Colin and what he gave up (although he's fine now), but it's possible to overplay any hand.

    I think it is crazier that the moron governor of Arizona (I guess it is to be expected that the governor of that state is a whacko) reacts to a shoe by denying Nike a tax incentive to build a plant in AZ and provide lots of jobs to his residents.  What a fool!
    Hope it is worth it.   How is this a sane decision that this dope makes on behalf of his taxpayers?  (They probably support him and think it is great.  Imbeciles.)

    Second crazy....again, to be expected...is from that half-wit Ted Cruz:
    “Nike only wants to sell shoes to people who hate the American flag.”
    Really?  Is that what the message is here?


    This is why Trump is President.  This is why the country thinks it is OK to largely ignore Puerto Rico when they undergo a disaster, or to look the other way on so many obvious signs of racial inequality....they do not care.
    They elect people like these two frigging mouth breathers.

    I suspect this has been a long planned and coordinated campaign by Nike.  I doubt Kap is reviewing each small batch of shoes for distribution for his personal approval.  No, this smells of Madison Avenue.

    I think Kaepernick is the only one with any claim on reason here, actually. Of course that flag is associated with slavery and oppression (though not the only one, as mickey said), so I don't see any inconsistency in him objecting. As usual, it's the politicians who are the ones who are actually reaching, but no surprise, especially given it's Cruz. 

    Nike, like all companies now, needs to think through possible ramifications of its decisions more thoroughly, and if they really think they're making the right decision, then weather that storm.

    That's it.  I am never buying Nike again...oh wait...I never have ever bought Nike.  I will continue my boycott of Nike.

    Lol. And Betsy Ross, the designer of the flag was a Quaker. Quakers were against slavery.

    So, are you trying to say that there was no slavery in the original colonies? Because that would be incorrect.

    The argument seems to be that the flag was ONLY or PRIMARILY associated with slavery.  That is a stretch by any means.  You could argue that the flag was anti-women's suffrage, anti-gay rights, anti-standing military and all sorts of other things.  To me, this is just another product of our "outrage" culture, where we seek to find things that separate us, rather than finding common ground.  Both sides...

    I know right. Why do people get so upset when a business makes a business decision that doesn't hurt anyone?
