BREAKING: NFL Gives Colin Kaepernick The Worst News Of His Life... Its Over This month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick outraged patriots everywhere when he refused to stand for the national anthem. It took less than a day for fans to start burning his jersey. Still, Kaepernick tried to defend his actions as a protest against oppression in this country. I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color, he later told reporters. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder. Things didnt turn out as planned for Kaepernick, however. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has just come forward to break his silence about the scandal. Lets just say hes not standing behind the entitled football player. Well my personal thoughts areI support our players when they want to see change in society, and we dont live in a perfect society. We live in an imperfect society, Goodell told USA Today. On the other hand, we believe very strongly in patriotism in the NFL. I personally believe very strongly in that. I think its important to have respect for our country, for our flag, for the people who make our country better; for law enforcement, and for our military who are out fighting for our freedoms and our ideals. What do you think? Did Kaepernick made a big mistake with his half-hearted protest?
