What's new

Kaep

Kaepernick strikes me as a tone-deaf millionaire in over his head. His Castro t-shirt was misguided; but his "pig" socks sealed the deal for me.

And I can't recall him having much to say when he was (at least perceived as) a top 5 QB who had plenty of money in pocket performing as a corporate shill.

But when you're losing a QB battle to Blaine Gabbert, things can go south pretty quickly.

Agreed. **** him with the pig socks.

I'm going to predict we hear he's bi-polar within the next few years. His behavior reminds me too much of other guys who later were diagnosed.
 
King contraian, you can't even agree that it's Thursday.

For real dude he literally takes the opposite side of anything and tries to make a reason why he it makes sense.

You can't say there is opposition in this country then go and wear those socks. Dudes a ****ing moron.

Well I later found out he wore those on August 10th, doesn't change how I feel about it though.
 
I can say in all objectivity that US has a kick *** cool flag. Why not fly it?

The Brits got a decent flag, I like Brazil's flag too. But ours is the best looking and it's not even close.

Mexico's flag > our flag

Red, white, and green with an eagle eating a snake while chilling on a cactus.
 
Fwiw, I live in Montana. Not that many places have flags in front of their houses. Not sure there's a problem with people showing one either. Carry on with your propaganda tho.

trust me, coming from Canada and driving through Idaho and Washington it was the FIRST thing I noticed.
 
Poor guy. I don't think he understands either side of the issues he's gotten himself involved in, and he's cost himself some serious money in the process.

It’s not a Castro shirt or a shirt that just depicts Castro. It’s a Malcolm X meets with Castro in Harlem shirt. The optics may still be bad but I think Kaepernick understands the story behind the meeting depicted on this shirt more than most.

The meeting was in 1960, shortly after the Cuban revolution and, obviously, before Castro went on to commit the worst of his crimes. At the meeting Castro spoke out against black oppression, this was four years before the Civil Rights Act and still a year before the last documented lynching in the United States, so it should be easy to understand why he was warmly received in Harlem and why the meeting is seen as iconic to many in the black community.

I'm going to make a guess here and suppose that to Kaepernick the shirt illustrates that more than fifty years ago Malcolm X was inviting foreign leaders to Harlem to speak out against black oppression and yet it still continues, to the extent that he wants to do his own small part by sitting down while others stand. Just a guess. Not saying I know for sure.

lol

1) pig socks were worn several weeks ago, before this controversy
2) I don't believe there was as large of a fervour across the population against police brutality as there is now.

Facile comparison
