I enjoy watching sports, especially baseball and hockey. That’s probably not much of a surprise being originally from Ferguson, which as everyone now knows is a suburb of St. Louis. The baseball Cardinals and the Blues have provided decades of enjoyment for me, and I’m happy to have attended many of their games and watched a whole lot more on television. The football Cardinals and the Rams? Personally, not so much.
What’s my point? Whether we like it or not, sports figures are often admired, and their actions really do impact others, or at least others’ opinions. I recall Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, and Stan Musial of the Cardinals as well as names like Plager, Hull, Sutter, and Berenson of the Blues. As a kid, I saw these guys and others like them as larger than life.
So now we have the odd story of Mr. Kaepernic, which we’ve examined here before, and into which our president, with apparently nothing better to do at the G20 Summit, has just injected himself.

He’s a racist pig
Why not think of the reasons why you should stand up for the anthem which outways the reason why you did not?!
Sincere my butt. He is a mediocre quarter back who is perpetrating a stunt so when he is traded he can cry racism and shake down the 49ers organization for millions.
Was there one red-blooded American out there that could not have given this speech for Obama? He has spewed those same words every single time some idiot decides that patriotism is not their cup of tea and that dissing the American anthem and our flag is their mantra. Despicable!
Colin you’re an idiot for listening to this Anti American idiot !!!!
Both should be striped of there citizenship and be deported or thrown in prison
Should have known that the Divider in Chief would love this.
Of course he does. You can predict what he will praise and oppose.
That’s right, Wayne….because he is not a “flip flopper” like someone who has changed his campaign managers how many times now? Colin is allowed to do as he pleases as is his right in this country just like some idiot who is running for president is always expressing his narrow minded views of hate and division.
