She wants the ratings. Nothing more

nah, this is bigger than ratings. This is her chance to get a real show.

She gets him on there and ambushes him, and Fox news is calling her before the end of the show.

i just read a couple people in here saying they mentioned it on CNN, first take and mike & mike.

they should be running it into the ground tho, like they were doing with the kaepernick backlash.

Newsone on TVone had interviews with two vets this morning who are for Kap.

Everyone saying Kaep isn't proud to be American is a fukking deceiver.


Same way with these internet trolls that are racist.


They spew lies, hatred and bullshyt in order to skew opinions, not knowing what they are doing is morally wrong. They want to continue this destructive behavior so they try to paint the others as the "bad guys"


Idk how people can be spewing racist shyt and think they are right? Like tf? You're racist, you're the problem in this country

First off this hashtag hardly represents all vets.

But you haven't even read my posts on this matter. This type of protest sucks because it's ineffective. I'm all for him protesting, but all this is doing is getting him attention for a little while longer and then it'll stop getting coverage.

If these athletes really care about making social change, they would stop tapdancing on the field for white spectators every weekend and refuse to play until some defined term of justice was achieved. Imagine if every black athlete, or a substantial number, sat out.

Protesting the anthem is really only disruptive to veterans. That's not a group BLM and affiliates have any business protesting. As I said in the HL thread (and no one responded too of course because they knew I was right):

On the contrary. I think Kap instead should donate money to pro-black causes. BLM, any super pacs, good candidates etc. Or he should refuse to play and get other black athletes to sit out too until there's justice. That's where he would be most effective.

Sitting during the national anthem does nothing to help the cause and disrespects soldiers (of all colors) who have died to protect us (and who aren't at fault for any oppression in America).

It's like Kap picked the most worthless, most insulting way to protest possible.

that san diego game was right on time for the media to be able to spin it into a different narrative.

on some "how will they react to kaepernick in this military city"?

He isn't, tho, he's proud to be BLACK. And that's what matters.

Bruh, it's effective. He did the right thing, most vets and POC are behind him. More will sit out the lame song and maybe now they'll stop playing it, which is a good start.

Effective at doing what? Nothing will change from his protest.

I don't know if your statement is to say that it goes disrespect Soldiers or if your talking about another writers story. But most veterans and current service members who are relatively conscious have no issue with this and support his right to sit or stand.
