But it became the self serving, Colin show. Colin is an idiot. He was never a smart guy but he didn't lose his phucking mind until he hooked up with that Nessa chick. Nor was he all that concerned about all the injustice in the world until it became clear his time in the league was coming to an end. You may respect him, but I do not.

Did all of them sign on to the Betsy Ross Flag boycott? I am sure in his present state that Muhammed Ali is really concerned about this. I feel kind of confident in saying that anyone who is backing Collin on this is just looking for new ways to be offended. Betsy Ross lived in a different time with different social mores. We should maybe judge her based on how she operated in that society. Was she worse? Better? Anyone posting on this thread or lining up behind Collin that was transported back and born during that time would have had similar views. It is naive, ignorant, and arrogant to think you would have somehow been more enlightened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the flag, and what it represents (i.e. a country that tolerated owning human beings, long after most of the powers of the day ceased the practice). Also, there's virtually no evidence that Betsy Ross even sewed this flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When institutional racism no longer plays a part in the day to day lives of people of color and overt racists like the white nationalists aren’t laying claim to the Stars and Stripes vintage that best represents their dominance in this country, perhaps those fighting against racism in the United States will be just a bit less sensitive to these things.

That alone, in my mind, makes up for anything the man has chosen to do after. Don't be a hater. Colin speaks his mind just as you do. Don't forget that.

He had a 4.0 GPA in college and scored an impressive 38 on the Wonderlic test before the NFL draft.” interesting take. The guy is not dumb.

Collin is a full blown massive dumb ass. Serves Nike right for sponsoring that loser, though. I completely hate Nike now and Adidas is the shit just like they were back in the mid-late 70’s.

I do agree that I don’t always agree with how he delivers that message because it’s uncomfortable. At the same time, I’m a white dude who has literally NEVER experienced racism on any level.

Joe from WY Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Y'all are aware Kaeperslap grew up in a lily white neighborhood and went to a lily white school and for all intents and purposes was lily white right? It's not like he grew up in the hood or faced rampant discrimination. I know. I knew him back then. He was whiter than I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
