I've always wondered when you are considered a person of color, Mr. Kaepernic claims he is, President Obama claims he is and they are both 50% shaded so do they get the full 100% of allowable complaints. Sure he is starting something in his mind and likes the attention but is it because he was demoted to 2nd string or what? There are other ways to protest but to not show respect to the National Anthem and the country that has really been good to him and a family that raised him and all of the benefits that he and his friends have worked for and received is rather childish. If he feels that the black race is being discriminated against then maybe he should get out of football and get into police work and see what they have to go through and the fears they have too like normal people. Maybe he could look too at the number of black ball players that keep getting into trouble with drugs and shootings and try to do something about that, he certainly isn't leaving his nice safe environment.
