In reply to Andy. Actually I prefer lap- but I understand how most Christian people don’t like it when people like Jap point out the inconsistencies and biases of Christian’s. We are a nation where you are free to be Christian, but mist Christian’s act pious and unchristian like in regards to people of color!

In reply to Mike Frost. Yes. But so is the right to endure the consequences of their free speech. Athletes and actors are paid entertainers for the masses. When they stray into personal politics they must be prepared for the backwashing from those their politics offend. The dichotomy of Christianity you described is actually the difference between spiritual battle and a temporal battle. Change a man’s heart and you can change his politics. The reverse isn’t possible. No one will ever make it to heaven because the marches in a BLM parade. They would do better to read the ubiquitous John 3:16.

In reply to Scott. I’m an OEF/OIF Marine. Colin in no way offends me. The only people bitching it disrespects me & people like me are civilians.... because people like me fought for EVERYONE to have 1A Rights not only some or only those I agree with.

In reply to PederJ. Don’t entertain that crazy fool. He doesn’t even know what his own Bible says. How are you going to have a meaningful debate with an ignorant know it all?

In reply to Mary Beth Labriola.

I am a Marine. I’m an OEF/OIF Marine veteran. I am in no way offended by Colin. I fought for everyone to have 1A Rights not only some or only the ones I agree with. I don’t give a rat’s ass if he kneels sits lays down idgaf. What about paralyzed people? They can’t stand either but I don’t see you attacking them because why? Because it’s not socially acceptable to attack the disabled. However, per your comment & so many others like yourself, you can see it’s socially acceptable to use my name & my person to attack someone for being black & aware of black cultural issues. People like you disgust me. Don’t commit racism in my name. Marines are inclusive of anyone who can make the cut. We don’t give a shit what color you are or your gender. Stop committing racism in my name!!!!

Signed,
Devil Dawg
US Marine OEF/OIF

In reply to J Wiggins. No it wasn’t not once in the NFL was it ever a problem for Tebow to kneel. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. If Tebow gets to do it then Colin does too. Bottom line end of story period.

Thank you for showing the hypocrisy. If they’re Christians; don’t they all worship the same God? But somehow they can’t acknowledge serious issues that really are occurring under their same God? It’s because Tebow is white. The same reason they always pick me to do media on. I have blonde hair & blue eyes & I’m kind of pale even with a tan. I’m considered a “classic beauty akin to the likes of Marylin Monroe” (that was an actual quote used about me) I routinely get picked over minorities because I bring in more money. That’s what it boils down to- money. If the NFL was smart, they would have done what Nike did. Nike’s profit shot thru the roof with a 30+% profit increase. The NFL picked the wrong side. They think only white men have money to spend except here comes Nike backing Colin & smash profit records. The NFL forgets that the NFL is mostly black. They lost profits because they improperly gauged who their audience was then they improperly gauged why they lost money. They lost money because they (NFL) refuses to acknowledge they’re a black organization that refuses to acknowledge black issues in the community. So, basically the NFL wants to pay black men to “entertain” white men… isn’t that all backwards? They spent time finding good black players. They fill the NFL with mostly black men but then want to tell those men stfu because we don’t care about your community? We only care about the community sitting in the stands. The ones that already came up out of poverty mostly using their white privilege to get ahead while refusing to acknowledge white privilege is really a thing- how they can’t see it while sitting in the stands baffles me, but then again racism baffles me too. I don’t judge on skin color. I don’t even judge by what they say; I judge by what they do- their actions. When it comes down to it, it’s the deplorables. There’s a reason DT & his ilk are called deplorables. You’ve seen the madman known as Captain Orangutan in the White House…. I don’t need to explain more because DT takes it all. He is the epitome of everything trashy & classless within the Tea Party. He’s the epitome of racism misogyny- hate. His heart is full of hate. That’s the bottom line. Unlike Obama who united us as a people, he (DT) intentionally divides us & fills his side with hate. The only way he knows to “lead” (he’s no leader BTW) is thru fear. I’m on my knees praying every single day for this ordeal to come to an end already. Once that piece of orange trash is out of my house, then we as a country can start to heal & recover from the criminal who stole the office. Then people like Colin can start to live in peace. We’ll still have the deplorables crying in the corner about the criminal who got away… that’s how backwards they are- they would rather keep a bondafide criminal in office than a country & government that makes it. && now you see why it was so easy to trick the deplorables into voting for him. They actually believe him Their stupidly astounds me, but it also brings me back to this is how Colin got into this mess. Deplorables think all blacks are criminals. They’re getting what they deserved. They shouldn’t have bucked police…. etc etc etc you’ve heard all the racist lines before. Ultimately deplorables are scared of blacks & think if blacks don’t want to die by cop leave our country. Why should we try to make life better for you you don’t belong here…. deplorables are like DT 100% fake. They care about their white issues while not realizing blacks are in the same boat. Under DT I saw the rise of the KKK. Dudes I’m from the DEEP SOUTH. I know racism. I’ve NEVER seen a robed KKK member until DT praised the KKK. Then I saw them IRL up close & personal. Heather could have been me. DT & Colin started all this. Colin was the one with the courage to stand up & take Captain Orangutan on. DT has made racism a Republican thing. The GOP has lost a lot of voters to democrats & democracy. Even the republicans are turning on DT. Nobody wants him around anymore. You’re going to see him get impeached. He’s going to jail & he knows it. Mueller intentionally took each one of DTs staff down 1 by 1 progressively up the ladder. Kush & DT Jr are next. Then DT himself. It’s all part of the game to keep DT unhinged. He can’t even be an effective POTUS because he’s too busy worrying about Mueller coming for him- which he is but we have to keep Kavanaugh out. Kavanaugh is DT’s personal lawyer. His firm started out handling all of DTs criminals. Then one by one every single one of them turned on DT. So now DT is trying to get someone confirmed who thinks a POTUS can never be indicted. He will protect DT & he’s already on DTs payroll but sure let’s confirm him DT is 100% immoral nothing of substance & a full blown sociopath possibly psychopath. This is what happens when you willfully elect criminals. It literally effects every single aspect of our lives…. just ask Colin.

In reply to Mike Frost. Yes, just as it is the right of an employer to replace employees with those who are 100% focused on the job that they're paid to do.

Did Tim Tebow take a knee DURING the playing of the National Anthem? If so, his action in not fundamentally different from Kaepernick’s. Point: He would have been refusing to stand DURING the playing of the National Anthem in order to express a belief. Neither man disrupted the National Anthem. Both men have that right.
