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.
I used to look forward to watching the nfl but not anymore,,,,I don’t watch it. Niners were my favorite team, NOT anymore.
Both of them are total jerks.

He being stupid this guy makes a million of dollars off the backs of America people and then he wants to disgrace this country trade him to Japan and see how well he does over there.
No, nit really.. The protest have less to do with police and more to do with perceived oppression of a group.. In 2016 twice as many whites were shot be LEO as blacks.. A larger percentage of blacks were shot, but this is mainly do to the high crime areas where the altercations took place.. Also, black LEO are twice as likely to fire their weapons as white LEO are.. The vast majority of these shootings were justified.. Showing disrespect towards the country as a whole is not beneficial to anyone.. Also, the BLM movement is bases on a lie… “hands up, don’t shoot” is a lie.. BLM protesters, who loot and destroy property are thugs who care little about justice or solving problems, and supporting them shows a great deal of ignorance.. Cam Newton is far more thoghtful and honest in his position on the issue..
