John M Crisp doesn't get it.  Colin isn't currently unemployed because of his political beliefs.  He's unemployed because no team wants to sign him.  And Colin wasn't the best QB in the league even before his national anthem protests.  He's been a mediocre player his entire career, and his 2012 season, where he played on the Niners' Super Bowl 47 team that lost to the Ravens, was a fluke.  Also, what Colin doesn't understand is that even though you have the right to protest against injustice in this country, you can't escape the consequences of your protest.  You have to be willing to accept criticism and even get fined or arrested if that's what it comes down to.  Finally, Colin can't claim he's oppressed when he got a big salary just for playing football.  What place other than the United States would provide him the opportunity he gets here?
