Enough said. Kaepernick has every right to protest. I have every right to view his protest as offensive.

And you got to admit there is a lot of white trash out there that like sports and if they're racist already, you will probably see them turn off the TV and spend time with their kids or do something else so it's going to backfire on the NFL and the Major League Baseball. Racism will still be there no matter what and racist like sports too and many of them will vote with their feet and go watch Netflix instead. I am not racist. My grandmother was mulatto from Guatemala. My mother was born in Honduras and I speak fluent Spanish. I am married to a Canadian native who looks Hispanic and she gets discriminated against all the time in Canada but when she is with me in California, they think she's Hispanic. I am saying this for anybody who feels offended by what I'm saying. This is to affirm that I respect all races at all peoples but I don't put up with what I'm seeing in Major League Baseball end in the NFL. The president has a point and maybe he was too blunt but I think many people have a sore Papa and they have to have thicker skin just like you use the term having a thicker skin in your after-action reports in the military.

I know our president still has to be duct taped sometimes but in this case this was an actual good example of where I actually believe in him even if the ACLU or the NFL say differently. Good people and white trash walking away from professional sports would cause professional sports to implode. Kaepernick is an idiot reading about how he broke his contract that he could get more and now nobody wants him nobody wants to endorse him and the NFL has the right to not rehire him again and he has to run like a baby to the NAACP to try to scare the owners to hire him back even though he is not the best player. Now they're mad I think the rank-and-file management of the NFL are sticking up for the players because they're worried that his words are going to scare off fans which I'm sure it will and cause the same thing that happened when there was a screen writers strike in Hollywood and people started watching cable and other channels like Netflix so when the strike was broken, those shows didn't have the ratings anymore it took them a long time to get their fans back. I was thinking how people are so worried about political correct terms. It kind of reminded me of the situation last year were this student and Canada War a Donald Trump hat too a university in Calgary which is south of me and the social justice Warrior freaked out and she made an ass out of herself. The dean of the school backed up the guy with the red hat. Donald Trump may have his big faults but he is saying America First and nationalism first. Today we have a story about Gold Star Mothers and I'm sure they're not happy over the freedom of speech of Kaepernick and the other unsportsmanlike players who are taking a knee and support. I'm saying white unsportsmanlike players and coaches as well. I am not racist. Here's an example of what happened last year.

He doesn't beat around the bush and I think that's what got him the votes that won him the election.

On the flip side that's also what ruffles a lot of feathers because there are a lot of people that don't want to really hear blunt truth.

PO1 Henry Jackson - Time will tell if White players do it as well, he won't mince words and POTUS will call out them as well. What with MLK or the surviving Tuskeegee airmen say? My grandmother was Mulato from Guatemala. She lived 20 miles from Belize before marrying my Grandfather. Now Londoners are laugh at us! I hate Illinois Nazis and Anti-Fascist wimps who cover their faces. David Duke and his KKK kind are also trash too.

How many "liberal-left votes" will Trump lose? Those are two very different subjects. He won't lose this liberal's vote, but I'm sure he never was going to get any votes from the Left. So, I guess the answer is none

Everything isn't about getting votes or losing votes.....at least it shouldn't be. It's about doing things in a respectful way. Those players flunk that test.....so does Trump.
