Tiptop789 Loc: State of Denial

What did I say that was insulting to veterans? Second, what in my post said I support B*M? While I think b*m, I believe all life is precious.

Krapperdick's complaint isn't personal??...it's started out with him getting some needed attention by sitting out the United States National Anthem at the 49ers games. When sitting wasn't enough, he decided to kneel, which got him way more attention. Then the media got involved and the whole thing blew up and boy did he LOVE that attention!

For some reason, he thought this would get him a better position at the NFL, but it backfired in a big way because no one wanted a s**t disturber on their team. Then he tried to beg his way back into the NFL, and when that didn't work, he tried to sue his way in.

When nothing would work to get him back playing football, he decided to take his "talents" to the Indian Nation to pow-wow along with them and try to outline all the "oppression" they were going through. When that fizzled out, he then went back to trying to get back into the NFL with no success at all.

Since there were no bites there, Nike decided to get involved, hoping that they could score a corner of the Black athlete market with their "Just Do It" slogan in 2018. What did that mean anyway? Just kneel and make a scene when you want something? And THAT's where the megabucks came in to play when they offered him a $12.3 million dollar deal. Kneeling for the "good of the cause" went out the window when he signed up with Nike. A year later, Nike hasn’t really utilized the unemployed QuarterBack since - unless you count the time he put the kibosh on Nike using Betsy Ross' f**g on a special-edition sneaker.

Now when you go on to Nike's site, there's nothing about Krapperdick's plight, and their Summer slogan is: "Where All Athletes Belong"....talk about trying to walk back their colossal mistake with going with the poor spoiled Black guy who grew up in a white privileged home.

In February 2019, Krapper spoke with the Alliance of American Football and XFL about becoming a quarterback for them but wanted a guaranteed $20,000,000 per season. XFL quarterbacks were paid $250,000 per season, while AAF quarterbacks were signed to an unguaranteed $250,000 over three seasons. So if anyone tries to say it's not about the $$$ with him, they're sadly mistaken.

You said that protesting by taking a knee wasn't aimed at veterans. I'm telling you as a veteran I find it insulting.

I also stated that all colors of people struggle, not just b****s. I too believe all l***s m****r, but I'm smart enough to research the Marxist group that calls themselves B*M.

Any support for the organization called Black L***s M****r is also insulting to any veteran. We signed up to fight "all" enemies foreign or domestic. Marxism is an enemy of the United States of America.

You think you have everything figured out, but I suspect reality is quite different.

Oh, does every veteran think a you? That's very wise of you to research B*M. I'm not sure how you made the leap from my posts to assume I somehow support B*M. Matter because I didn't call them names or slam Colin. When he first started, I thought he was wrong because fans go to football games to relax & not have political controversy thrown in their face. Additionally, an employer should be able to have control over their employees and what they do while on the job. Over time, I've come to the realization he's protesting the treatment some b****s receive from the police. His feelings have spread to all the teams & most players. I don't know what will happen going forward, but either way, I haven't any dogs in the fight.

I haven't figured out a thing.....I'm just calling like it is. I get s**k of people saying he's some kind of hero, when I all he has is dollar signs in his eyes.

I'd be willing to bet if he could go back to the days before he pulled his kneeling stunt, he would do things quite differently...and then he may be playing football still instead of trying wh**ever he can think of to keep his name in the limelight. He has no one to blame for ending his football career but himself.

He was a citizen of India. They have a f**g. Your answer is deflecting. Many, many Indian people died getting that nation's independence and its own national f**g. Like America did in 1776. F**gs are symbols of something and are either respected or not. Utilizing that symbol (both the anthem and f**g) to advocate for a cause has its upside and its downside. Kaepernick has received both good and bad reviews of his actions. Individuals decide for themselves, that is the American way. Whose right and /or wrong is a reasonable debate.

He could have paraded naked around the ticket booths carrying a sign saying America had stripped black people of their rights. That would have focused his actions on black people; instead, he focused everything on himself. It would have produced just as much attention for his cause as he got for what he did.

That way, people would only have thought he was nuts. As it is, they now think he is not deserving of the rights he has that he apparently can't appreciate.

Thanks I was wondering why my post seemed to be h*****g out there without context.

And it's not about the f**g or the anthem--and I'm not wrong!

You're wrong about Krapernack deserving to be mentioned in the same breath as Rosa Parks and Ghandi. He's not fit to lick their boots. Both of them had integrity. Krapernack...not.
