Before crushing Kaepernick, consider the possibility that not everyone experiences things in the same way.— Jane McManus (@janesports) August 27, 2016
That won't help Kap's overall popularity but you gotta do what your heart insists upon. I'm more interested in how well (or not) he plays.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
Kaepernick told me that he is fully aware that there will be backlash. He is willing to deal with it: https://t.co/R3pSnMeWdD— Steve Wyche (@wyche89) August 27, 2016
Am I imagining things or do Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick alternate social consciousness stances every few months?— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
@theNFLchick Yeah, I don't recall knowing where Kaep stood on much beyond having a 6-pack until today. Whatever. I'm a fan of both of them.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
@theNFLchick Make me wonder (being the cynic that I am) to what degree his evolution is a result of no longer being the superstar starter.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
@theNFLchick But respect either way. I'm rooting for him.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
Colin Kaepernick sits out the anthem because of how America treats Black people so his mentions are filled with racial slurs & threats.— Amadi (@amaditalks) August 27, 2016

You can't criticize Kaep for thinking America < great but applaud Trump for saying USA needs to be made great. Unless you're an a-hole.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
I'm not upset at Colin Kaepernick but I'm not going to give him a cookie either. He didn't stand up, big whoop. Impress me by curing cancer.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
Ali had his title taken away, lost his job, had to fight to stay out of jail. Kaepernick caught flack on Twitter. In 2016 we see these as =— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016

Kaepernick could have stood up and spared me some of the resulting ignorance I've seen on my TL today.

Yeah the ashies are gonna definitely go at Kaep for being adopted by a white family and being light skinned. Sad to be able to predict it.— Rod TBGWT (@rodimusprime) August 27, 2016
@rodimusprime No crystal ball or tarot cards required to make that call.— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016

I keep telling the faux woke. Don't matter what race mom, dad, wife, kids or whoever may be. What matters is who YOU r. Start judging there.
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 27, 2016
If you insist on judging, that is. Because it technically isn't mandatory to do any more than live and let live.

Even with Colin Kaepernick's comments & his decision to not stand for the anthem, the #49ers, Chip Kelly will make football decisions on Kap

Unless team owner says otherwise cuz tix to sell and it's his team.

Why expend energy tearing into someone for doing something that did no harm to you or anybody else? Not impressed by patriotic posing.
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 28, 2016
I didn't do back flips every time Kaep stood for the anthem & I shed no tears over him sitting it out. His job, his life, his call.

Won't cause me to miss 1 second of sleep tonight. Same amount I didn't miss over Locthe or other flare up & fade fast sports news stories.

@AuthorofPatches him disrespecting his own country, this country is an issue.

@JoshDamage Beautiful thing abt America is 1 has the right to express dissatisfaction with America. Criticizing Kaep is criticizing America.
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 28, 2016
Since the NFL doesn't require their employyes to stand during the national Anthem, I guess what Kaepernick did wasn't as bad as I thought-

Football has surpassed boxing and baseball as America's favorite pastime. So it's the best/biggest stage upon which to take a stand.

Having a problem w/ over-policing & justice system set up 2 protect rogue cops isn't anti-white by def. Many whites & blacks get this wrong.
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 28, 2016
Perfectly possible 4 Kaepernick or Jesse Williams or whoever 2 love parents & various other white ppl yet also recognize US race disparities
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 28, 2016
But if you're a white person OR a black person who only hears anti-white rhetoric in "black lives matter" battle cry, you'll never get that.

.@Kaepernick7 statement rings right now.There's no fkn way there should be near 3 million people in USA prisons. Today's jocks must speak up

speaking out is good but there is a way to do it.

Message on t-shirt or sneakers, not standing or saluting, power fist, hashtag. These are all just protest gestures & gestures only go so far
— Roy Pickering (@AuthorofPatches) August 28, 2016
But I suppose they do go further than going along silently.
