What Kap did was a slap in the face to all those brave soldiers, who had to deal with a lot of shit in this country, who put their life on the line and fought honorably for the freedom we enjoy today. No different from my great great uncle John Guy Yates who was killed by a Japanese sniper in the Phillipinnes in 44. All those guys, black, white, native american, whatever should be honored by us standing on our feet at attention for 3 minutes out of our 168 hour week.Even more appalling, a black Iraq veteran who lost his legs in Iraq and couldn't stand for the anthem, lifted himself up by the handles of his wheel chair and held position during the Anthem, Kap is a disgrace. Didn't make a stand during the Super Bowl, but does so when he is 2nd string at a preseason game. Pathetic.


There are still a few black WW2 veterans that are alive. Hopefully we can hear from some of them about what they think of Kaepernick. We've sure heard enough people speak for them, without their input.
Really? My grandma is 80 and ten years younger than most black ww2 vets. You think most even deal with social media and twitter you're a fool. My grandma is 80 years old and has only heard of facebook. Those old school people grew up working hard, living in a world without plumbing or electronics and are our greatest generation of Americans. To think they would sound off on Twitter is ridiculous. They are so much more humble and hardworking to even have mind to sound off on something so trivial and immature.
