Obviously the players, coaches, and owners forgot the statement Kaepernick made concerning the flag.  How can he say this and wear a Fidel Castro/ Che Guevara T shirt and still be taken seriously?  

I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. 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.
