If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Donald Trump and Colin Kaepernick, it’s that neither is afraid to voice their controversial opinions.

When San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat in protest during the national anthem, he caused quite a stir within the military community. “At the same time, I think it’s a duty of ours as leaders, especially with young kids, to make a good, proper announcement if we feel the need to, and I think that’s what he’s doing”. “I think it’s a bad thing”, Mr. Trump said Monday on KIRO radio ahead of a trip to Washington State Tuesday.
“You know what? The way we operate for the national anthem, we consider it a small gesture to those who served and sacrificed their lives for our country, and for us to play and coach in this great game”, McAdoo said. “Let him try. It won’t happen”.
Kaepernick said he’s not looking for approval, but merely standing for the rights of people that are oppressed, saying he won’t stand again until he sees change.
Maybe Trump should reconsider those comments.
Unless. Baalke and York believe this was the last straw and think that Kaepernick is a headache who isn’t close to worth having around any more. I know hes taken a lot of heat for it.
Kaepernick said that oppression against minorities in America has prompted him to take a seat during the National Anthem. He has been an unhappy camper with the 49ers, and lost his starting job last season after being one of the most promising players in the National Football League and demanded that he be traded.
While Kilgore said he disagreed with Kaepernick’s decision to sit, he said, “I stand with Kap when he says enough is enough against crime, violence, discrimination and racism”.
“This is not something that I am going to run by anybody”, he said.
So, if you picked up the newest Madden, keep an eye out for the update, which I imagine will come sooner rather than later.
“I only wish Mr. Kaepernick could see the emotional and psychological challenges that our officers face following a fatal encounter”, Halloran wrote.
It’s possible Kaepernick made a tough decision for the 49ers just a little bit easier. The NFL responded by indicating that players are encouraged but not required to stand for the anthem.
In an interview Monday evening on NFL Total Access, Brown said that he didn’t necessarily support Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner”, but he was “with him 100 percent” regarding the overall message. “We’re playing a game for a living”.

Tapper asked Johnson: “There are also grieving moms because their sons were innocently and wrongly killed by law enforcement. if one of them were here and said ‘Hey, Kaepernick wasn’t standing up against your son, he was standing up for my son, ‘ what would you say to that?”
